“Last year (2010), the top end of Killara’s market notched up two notable sales through LJ Hooker Pymble agent David Johnson.
“Behind a charming heritage facade is a bright, contemporary, extensively renovated 6 bedroom home. Each bedroom is a light-filled private space with luxurious modern ensuite and estate views from either balcony, terrace or opening skylights.[2]
“Masquerading as a modest English cottage, this impressive house opens up on a grand scale to reveal a sandstone-columned castle towering over a lush 2000+ sq metre estate.
“This vast modern home sits discreetly behind an appealing 1930’s facade on more than 2000 sq metres of glorious garden with exceptional views. In a superb east side location, just a walk to rail and amenities, this newly renovated residence will surprise you, with its elegant, understated entry hall flowing to an expansive and magnificent modern mansion. [3]
“A multi-million dollar renovation has extended the luxurious accommodation. The entire house has been completely reconfigured and lavishly reappointed.
The result is a fabulously spacious, modern, private retreat. There is room for the entire family to come together and enjoy the facilities, or keep to themselves in their own individual spaces.
Parkland Retreat
The northerly aspect of the house with views of the beautiful grounds and valley beyond makes you feel you are living amongst the treetops. Much more like a mountain retreat than the usual Killara.
Accommodation
“Designed to enjoy the northerly aspect, family living spreads across numerous light-filled formal and informal rooms including a home theatre, an artist’s studio, a spacious study, 6 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms, a designer kitchen, a billiard room and more.
“Crisp architectural lines enhance the pleasure of living and entertaining in this remarkable home. With fully self-contained living areas throughout. Privacy and tranquillity are assured
Features
“A brilliant blend of character and contemporary features, this unique executive home offers grandeur of scale – with expansive level lawns as well as several large terraces with lovely distant views. There is a gas heated pool set in lush landscaping, a spa and poolside cabana plus triple garaging. This property offers a truly cosmopolitan lifestyle yet is in keeping with the understated charm of its blue ribbon location
“A private office features a lounge area with double-sided fireplace, wet-bar and ensuite. Bi-fold and french doors open to sunny terraces from all living and entertaining areas.
“Extensive grounds of over 2000 sqm include landscaped gardens with fishponds and private outdoor “rooms”. The sun-drenched pool features a heated spa with waterfall and a generous poolside area with entertaining cabana, BBQ and outdoor kitchen / dining.”
