Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Sarah Hackett said there were 89 inspections prior to the sale. 

“Fully renovated homes are in strong demand due to huge rise in construction costs and time lag due to labour shortage,” Sarah explained.

The home showcases beautifully modernised interiors by Leigh Boswell of Highgate House, which pay homage to its illustrious past with a contemporary feel, from its magnificent character facade, large wrap-around verandahs, decorative fretwork and Steven Clegg-designed gardens.

The 5-bedroom home was purchased by local buyers, attracted to the iconic landmark home on Kangaroo Point cliff.

“This was the first time in 27 years to secure this magnificent home. It’s one of the trifecta homes on KP cliff. A very special property,” Sarah told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.
