8 The Barbette, Castlecrag NSW 2068

Duncan House, circa 1934 being built to represent the last bastion showcasing the true characteristics of Burley Griffin's ideological sophistication. Set in the magic scenic flora of the waterfront reserve and intimate carriage of garden pathways that connect Castlecrag's bushland.

Closely spaced windows and French doors on all four sides of the building, flood the interior with natural light and provide a beautiful contrast to the rugged sandstone walls.

In 1989 an addition at the front of the house was built. Great care was taken to ensure that it was sympathetic to the heritage of the original building whilst enhancing functionality to provide a gallery style entrance hall and large skylight, two interconnecting double bedrooms with a shared walk-in-robe, plus an ensuite. Rich terracotta floor tiles draw you from the front door through the spacious modern kitchen and into informal dining area that opens out onto a sun-drenched courtyard. The result is magnificent.

Features:
- Original architectural features throughout highlight rich naked sandstone
- Four bedrooms one with ensuite and walk-in-robe
- Two large skylights
- Double carport
- Established gardens at front and rear with free flowing boundaries
- Modern bathroom

The relative bustle of Castlecrag shops, schools and public transport is so close yet remote to this stunning architectural home.
