Steeped in history and transformed for modern living, Quarry Heath holds the distinction of being Forestville's very first home, built circa 1920. Set on just under 1,000 sqm, it is situated behind secure electric gates and framed by leafy gardens, with its locally quarried sandstone and timber façade making a striking first impression that announces a residence of substance and timeless character.
Within the home, the spaces have been carefully preserved and sensitively renovated, uniting its character with contemporary sophistication. Original hardwood floors, exposed sandstone walls, exquisite timberwork and soaring vaulted ceilings speak to its history, while a modern transformation brings a refined layer of comfort. An expansive, light-filled living domain connects seamlessly to a wraparound terrace on three sides, with a grand brick fireplace serving as a central gathering point.
The new Calacatta kitchen benchtops are fitted with premium stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, and an adjoining pantry, marrying style with everyday functionality. Accommodation is generous, with two bedrooms on the lower level and three above, including a master retreat beneath cathedral ceilings, complete with a luxe ensuite and private balcony. Bathrooms are beautifully updated, with marble finishes and a freestanding bath in the main bathroom that introduces a touch of indulgence.
The grounds are designed for relaxation and recreation, featuring a pavilion that rises above a sparkling, heated saltwater pool, creating a resort-like outdoor setting. Established greenery frames level lawns, while DA-approved plans open opportunity for a two-bedroom granny flat, along with a garage and carport. Practical inclusions heighten liveability: air conditioning throughout, a large laundry with storage, a 150-bottle wine cellar/tasting room, and a vast four-car garage with a workbench.
Located in a tightly held Forestville enclave, the property offers peace and seclusion while remaining just minutes from local shops, cafés and schools, with an extensive network of picturesque bushwalking trails close at hand. Easy access to transport links ensures swift connection to Chatswood, the city and the Northern Beaches, making Quarry Heath a rare estate of history, refinement and exceptional lifestyle appeal.
