A security gate leads you into a landscaped garden and through to the 1865 Georgian-designed home with arched windows, French doors and four-metre high ceilings. The front parlour, formal dining room and main guest bedroom all include open fireplaces and there is a powder room off the living areas.

Two bedrooms on the upper level share a large open plan bathroom and separate toilet, each with parquetry marble flooring and designer fittings. The original servants' quarters, separated from the house by an atrium garden, has been converted into a bedroom suite with private bathroom. 

Heritage features have been preserved such as crystal ball chandeliers, Kauri Pine floorboards and carved fanlights above French doors.

The contemporary extension features European Oak floors and walls of tinted glass to capture the views. The elevated living wing includes the eat-in kitchen with Calecutta Italian marble breakfast bar, gas hob, ice-maker fridge as well as Gaggenau appliances, hob and griller, oven, steam oven, microwave and coffee machine.  

The lounge area has an integrated gas fire, opening to a huge pool terrace set against a backdrop of city skyline. The terrace includes a built-in bbq kitchen, an undercover dining area and heated pool. Downstairs, the master suite opens to a leafy courtyard garden with an ensuite and walk in wardrobe.
