Watch our 2min walk-through tour of this magnificent property.

Gaze across yacht studded North Harbour to Manly from this newly renovated residence. This quality home combines heritage sandstone features with contrasting ultramodern luxuries to form the ultimate private harbour-side escape. Located on Sydney Harbour’s foreshore, between Forty Baskets & Reef Beach, adjoining Sydney Harbour National Park.

The original sandstone cottage has been integrated into the home’s transformation.

Clever architectural design has retained the original features of the cottage and contrasted the sandstone with a black granite facade that blends into the home’s natural setting. The home is focused around an expansive covered sandstone terrace that drinks in the magical North East views.

The home features a formal living space warmed by a marble fireplace; a dining area that overlooks a tranquil water feature to the bushland reserve through a large glass folding window; a large gourmet open plan kitchen that enjoys wide harbour views and boasts Italian marble bench tops, quality cabinetry, large 2 door stainless steel oven and hotplates, dishwasher; and a home office with built-in solid timber desk.

The accommodation is divided into separate wings for the adults and children or guests. The separate parent’s retreat enjoys harbour and garden views accommodating a king sized bedroom housed under high ceilings that opens onto the terrace; features include a large dressing room, lavish Italian marble bathroom ensuite with underfloor heating and sunken bath; and electric remote control blinds on the windows.

The lush garden and sandstone terraces wind down to level lawn areas. An entertainers’ deck sits just above the beach beside an historic boatshed/artist studio complete with an original open fireplace.

Additional features include a covered double carport with storage room; convenient inclinator access right to the residence’s front portico; plenty of internal storage space including a large cellar ideal for
