Nestled high on a 923sqm parcel of land at the end of a private driveway among some of Sydney's most historic and distinguished trophy homes, this secluded modern residence has a perfect north-easterly aspect and uninterrupted harbour views.

The breathtaking vista takes in the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, the city skyline, and also extends north to the Heads.

The home is surrounded by magical grounds, which include a tiled pool, towering mature Chinese elms, and a limestone entertaining terrace. The gardens create a calming backdrop of greenery to every room of the home. The home's outdoor entertaining spaces are perfect for alfresco dining and entertaining.

Multiple living spaces create separate zones for entertaining and relaxation, and a vast glass living area features a wood-burning fireplace and polished spotted-gum timber floors.

A modern stainless-steel kitchen overlooking the harbor and includes a Calacatta marble island with breakfast bar.

The four generous bedroom suites include their own en-suite and dressing room.

An atrium-style conservatory adjoins a cosy media room warmed by a gas fireplace. A library and office features built-in floor to ceiling bookshelves.

The lower level is devoted to recreation, and includes a large air-conditioned cellar, games/billiard room, gym and sauna, and has access to the pool and garden.

A four-car garage with storage and internal access provides ample parking space.

The home is only a five-minute walk to both The Scots College and Cranbrook, and a brief stroll down to the protected shores of Seven Shillings Beach, Redleaf Pool, and beautiful Blackburn Gardens.
