Rathven' provides a rare opportunity to purchase one of the areas' landmark estates, north to rear on an impressive 1764sqm that backs onto Gillespie Field. Just the 2nd time offered to market in its 83 year history, it presents the opportunity to update and bring it back to its glory.
The iconic double brick residence was built in 1938 by acclaimed local architect Eleanor Cullis-Hill as her own home. The residence takes advantage of the full width of the property welcoming in the northern sunshine and enjoying the open green vistas. It extends at the rear to sandstone terraces, a pool and a north/south full sized tennis court.
The floor plan spills across two generous levels, presenting multiple living and dining zones, a tidy kitchen and bathrooms, substantial bedrooms, an office and optional 6th bedroom or TV room. It comes with DA approved plans to significantly reconfigure and create a stunning statement home. Its esteemed setting is 600m to the rail, 700m to Knox Grammar and an easy stroll to the village, Wahroonga Park, Wahroonga Public School and Abbotsleigh.
