Proudly part of Kirribilli's rich history, this grand north facing Federation apartment neighbours Kirribilli House and was once a slice of the iconic harbourside estate. Originally built in c1911, 'Soma' is a boutique collection of nine adjoining Lady Gowrie Lookout in a peaceful blue-chip cul-de-sac setting.
Newly and sympathetically renovated, considered design choices enhance the nostalgic architectural charm. Arrive home through a spectacular wide hallway with inset archway detailing and plaster finish wall sconces. Grounded by engineered oak flooring laid in a forever glamours herringbone formation, high ceilings are emphasised through intricate cornicing. Facing north and welcoming in natural light from three sides, the refined living room opens out to a sunlit balcony channelling harbour glimpses toward Neutral Bay. Warmed by a gas fireplace, the living room has been luxuriously customised through a wall of bespoke joinery.
Upgraded to enhance lifestyle, the aspirational kitchen is topped in striking Dolomite natural stone and has been seamlessly integrated with Smeg cooking appliances, a concealed French door Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and hidden Bosch dishwasher. Basking in an ideal aspect, northern sun streams into both the kitchen and the adjoining pendant lit dining with banquette seating on either side. Personalised by sophisticated designer lighting choices, the dining room pendant is from Coco Republic and a pair of large 'Cloud' pendants add ambience to the two bedroom retreats. Serviced by a five-star bathroom, Carrara and Bardiglio marble floor tiles in a timeless checkerboard pattern unite the space. Featuring a both freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower recess lined in Spanish wall tiles, the bathroom design also boasts head height storage with brass wall lights on either side.
