5 Kinka Rd, Duffys Forest NSW

A residence of rare distinction and style, this French provincial inspired residence provides a tranquil haven of sophistication, privacy and style. Graced with stone floors, high ceilings and multi-paned windows throughout its generous light filled interiors, the elegant Kinka House' is wrapped in sun drenched entertainers' terraces, rolling level lawns and exquisitely manicured park-like gardens.

Nestled in an exclusive cul-de-sac setting on the border of Terrey Hills, it is only a 30 minute drive to the city, 10 minutes to beaches and marinas, and moments to Terrey Hills village and a selection of schools with transport and riding trails just metres from the door.

Accessed via a remote controlled security gate and long driveway lined by parterre hedges to where it circles by the residence, the home is entered through a grand foyer with a curved staircase dressed in wrought iron balustrades forming an elaborate backdrop.

A media room and guest powder room are located by the entrance foyer. The stately formal living room is warmed by an open fireplace and adjoins a sunroom/music conservatory and expansive casual living and dining spaces flow through glass sliding doors to covered northerly garden terraces.
