Holding one of the North Shore's widest water frontages, this absolute waterfront estate rests on a double allotment totalling approx 4,847sqm (over one acre). Enjoy private informal parklike gardens, manicured lawns and cascading sandstone terraces. The championship sized tennis court sits above a large level orchard. A beautiful bushland walk leads to a sandstone boathouse with launching ramp into the Lane Cove River. An opportunity unlikely to be repeated, this incredibly rare and much loved generational home is now offered for sale for the first time in 60 years.
Originally built in 1915, the grand plantation-style single level manor captures panoramic views of the Lane Cove River, the city and Anzac Bridge. Sweeping vistas are welcomed into all primary living areas and most bedrooms. A majestic veranda extends out from the formal and informal living rooms and features stunning lineal panelling above. Embossed vaulted 4m ceilings continue from the entrance hall to the dining room and reception rooms. Showcasing an irreplaceable charm, a nostalgic sandstone cellar with private tasting room features a custom bar and extensive wine storage.
A family centrepiece since 1961, this architecturally significant landmark home takes advantage of the rare double block. It has the potential for sub-division subject to council approval. In a class of its own, discover the beauty, serenity and convenience of this exclusive North Shore peninsula close to leading schools, waterside parks, city buses, ferry wharf and less than 4 kilometres from the CBD.
