Berthong occupies 1,662 square metres of absolute waterfront and is one of the few freestanding houses in Elizabeth Bay.

With a north-easterly harbour aspect the house has uninterrupted harbour views to the Garden Island naval base and Clark Island. 

In 2005, Corben Architects extensively restored and revived the two-storey residence receiving an MBA award for their efforts.

The property has five bedrooms with ensuites, including a private guest wing. The master suite opens onto a balcony and includes a dressing room and marble ensuite with a freestanding stone bath. 

There is a large stained glass window in the dining room which joins a formal lounge room. A Calacatta marble kitchen features a butler's pantry.

A north-facing entertaining space is framed by traditional windows and bi-folding doors that flow through to the outdoors.

The lush established grounds have a tropical feel and total privacy. A sandstone terrace steps down to a level lawn and a pool at the water's edge.

Former chauffeur's quarters have been converted into a two-storey guesthouse. A double garage is accessed directly from the street and an additional garage and extensive guest parking is secluded behind automatic security gates.

Additional features:

- Ducted air conditioning
- CCTV
- Study
- Four garage spaces

The property is within walking distance of Potts Point, Woolloomooloo and Darlinghurst, as well as the Royal Botanic Gardens, Opera House and the CBD.
