Sitting on close to 1,900sqm (approximately), this heritage listed home is firmly entrenched in the history of McMahons Point.

Kailoa, built circa 1885, originally formed part of the 'Graythwaite' estate and over the last 20 years has been painstakingly transformed by the current owners into a luxurious family home  featuring an entertaining deck and private 17m swimming pool.

“You would never guess these gates would hide such a private sanctuary, across one level of opulent living,” Tim Fraser told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“It is the largest, privately owned landholding in McMahons Point, steeped in history and combines character with modern luxury.”

The property features details from its grand past, from the wrought iron gated entry, circular driveway and sweeping lawn and gardens to the character filled façade and sandstone foundations. Using techniques such as Flemish bond 9-inch brickwork and a Welsh slate roof imported from only one quarry in the world, this home spared no expense neither then nor now. 

Positioned under soaring 3.7m ceilings, the wide entry foyer features a stunning collection of arches and silk painted Venetian lighting which leads into an array of beautifully tailored rooms, each with their own flair.

The formal lounge is laid out in deep red and warm terracotta colours, featuring a marble fireplace, bay window and ceiling roses, while the sumptuous library is straight out of a novel with crystal chandelier and walls lined with books and curated pieces from all over the globe. Velvet curtains and lavish sitting areas only add to the intimate vibe, while large French doors connect to the wraparound sandstone terrace. 

Moving further inside, the home’s sundrenched, open plan living and dining space is contemporary, wrapped around a central courtyard which lets in the north facing sunshine. Complete with Oak herringbone floors, the chef's kitchen is defined by a single slab of Super White dolomite stone, offering Wolf appliances, butlers pantry and a Sub-Zero fridge. The outstanding entertainer is finished by a 3,000-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar.

The home accommodates 5 bedrooms, including an impressive master suite with fireplace, dressing room and a deluxe marble ensuite, serviced by a main bathroom with sunken honed limestone bathtub and double sinks.

Comfort is assured with tri zoned ducted air conditioning throughout, gas converted original fireplaces, heated floors in all tiled areas and smart home automation in the form of video intercom and CCTV security cameras; all operated via smart phone. There is Sonos surround sound throughout the house as well as a double carport plus additional off-street parking for up to 10 cars.
