9 North Harbour Street, Balgowlah NSW 2093

Even at the front gate, before the arresting views and true harbourfront position are revealed, it is instantly apparent that this residence is undeniably special. Evoking an image of a Mediterranean Villa, rounded archways and white walls are offset by the rich hues of a tropical garden. You'd be forgiven for lingering here, but once inside, the home's rear outlook will hold you captive.

Across three beautifully appointed levels, unforgettable views are received into elegant interiors and from balconies. From the tidal shores of Jilling Cove across the bobbing yachts towards Fairlight, the water's effect is powerful and mesmerizing and an extraordinary backdrop for the luxurious family living on offer inside the home.

Four double bedrooms deliver substantial private spaces, while distinct dining and living rooms as well as six separate balconies offer multiple zones for family congregation as well as quiet retreats. Separate studio accommodation takes up the lower level, injecting superb versatility to this home's already overpowering appeal.

This is an almost indescribable lifestyle, where morning coffees are sipped as toes are dipped into the gently lapping harbour, right in your backyard. Daily swims in Forty Baskets Beach are reached after a stroll through National Park. And yet metres away from this idyllic oasis, cafés, city transport and an array of restaurants and stores are at hand as part of the exceptional package.
