Like a French provincial manor on Rose Bay Hill, this grand federation estate captures north east facing panoramas that stretch from Shark Island and the sands of Rose Bay Beach in the foreground to the graceful curves of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the distance.

Built c1912, the sprawling 1,144sqm (approx.) home maintains its elegant period ambiance with decorative ceilings, classic bay windows and original stonework throughout.

Complete with self-contained lower level, the multigenerational home has been cherished for nearly 25 years by the same owners, who have thoughtfully renovated and extended during their time with the property. However, scope remains for a creative remodel or to convert the approximately 210sqm attic space with drop-down ladder.

“This is an incredible land holding with the most spectacular views of Sydney Harbour and all of its icons,” Elliott Placks told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“I love the fact that it is in close proximity to the Rose Bay Village and some of Sydney’s most prestigious private schools.”

The front terrace provides the best vantage to bask in the quintessential Sydney Harbour panorama. From here, the grand entry foyer with timber detailing disperses into a choice of lounge and dining rooms.

The expansive floorplan centres around a modern provincial kitchen, featuring a statement island adorned with bespoke natural marble surfaces, chef-grade Lacanche gas stove, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer, and generous walk-in pantry.

At the rear of the home, a casual family/living area is lined with warm yellow box and red jarrah parquetry floors. French style bi-fold doors open into the Vergola-covered courtyard with entertainers' pavilion. 

Outside, a series of secluded alfresco settings can be found amid the wonderful garden including a sun deck to enjoy uppermost views of the city skyline.

Accommodation comprises six bedrooms. The three upper bedrooms include the main suite with a wide bay window seat to soak up harbour outlooks. A further three bedrooms and kitchen are located in the vast self-contained lower level with its own separate access.
