This eco-friendly family retreat is one of Sydney's finest heritage homes. Set on 3,642 square metres, the sandstone manor has undergone a carefully considered reinvention, linking the old with the new.

Views through this distinctly Australian landscape can be enjoyed from north-facing indoor and outdoor living areas. A championship tennis court, trampoline platform, guesthouse and direct river access set the scene for relaxed living and entertaining.

The pool pavilion includes a heated pool with raw-finished decking, a covered spa and dining pergola with a unique studio retreat hidden below.

Five bedrooms are all positioned on the upper level with three that open out to a verandah with views, as well as a separate suite for guests. The master retreat occupies a private wing and features a sky lit dressing room and Boffi-appointed ensuite, the freestanding bath has views to the river.

A custom steel staircase punches through three levels to connect the living spaces. The chef's grade island kitchen forms the hub of the home and features polished concrete floors, an adjoining utilities room, and level rear access to the garaging.

The lower level incorporates a home office/library with double height ceilings, while an upper level family area opens to a sunny verandah.

Additional features:
