Nestled in a prestigious location alongside Centennial Parklands, this landmark Randwick estate is perfectly designed for growing families seeking a relaxed modern lifestyle.

Originally built circa 1906 for Colonel W.T. Farrell and his family, 'Swan Isle' claims a substantial 1,349sqm (approx.) block of land, combining traditional grand proportions with sophisticated modern additions.

During its long history, 'Swan Isle' was used by St Judes Anglican Church, Randwick for monthly services in the 1920s before being converted to a private hotel in the 1950s.

The property was transformed back to a private residence in 1960 and was last purchased in 2000 for $2.02m by retired publican Robert Richards and his wife, Mary Lou.

With a price guide of $20m, the sale of 'Swan Isle' is expected to smash the current suburb record of $14.35m.

“Swan Isle is Randwick’s finest home and it has so much grandeur, charm and history,” Kate Smith told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“Its land size and architecture is majestic and has already received lots of attention from local and international buyers. It is on track to break the current suburb record, which is really exciting,” Kate explained.
