Perched high above Sydney Harbour and embraced by magnificent century-old gardens, Babworth House stands as a masterpiece of Edwardian architecture - a residence of enduring beauty and cultural significance. Within its grand, gated estate lies Residence One, an exceptional ground-floor home that unites old-world grandeur with the quiet luxury of contemporary living.
Originally completed in 1915 and meticulously restored, the Estate remains a showcase of craftsmanship and artistry. One of just five exclusive residences created from this former mansion, Residence One reveals a scale and sense of space rarely seen in apartment living, with an extraordinary 674sqm of combined indoor and outdoor living.
A stately arrival sets the tone, with gated entry, sweeping driveway and elegant porte-cochère leading into a home of remarkable proportions. Inside, a flowing floorplan unfolds into a series of formal and informal living and dining spaces, bathed in natural light and framed by oversized Art Deco windows overlooking the gardens.
Rich in period detail, the interiors feature extra-high ornate ceilings, original timber joinery, oak parquetry flooring and beautifully preserved finishes - each element contributing to an atmosphere of timeless refinement and calm. Sunlight filters through the surrounding greenery, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out.
Designed for both intimate living and grand-scale entertaining, the residence extends effortlessly to its private outdoor domains. Unique for Residence One, landscaped gardens, a sun-drenched level lawn, dining patio and traditional terrace are all on Residence One title, offering a rare level of privacy and exclusivity within over 5,000sqm of impeccably maintained grounds.
• Three generously proportioned bedrooms, including a deluxe master suite with ensuite and its own private terrace.
• At the heart of the home, a gourmet chef's kitchen with casual dining is complemented by a full butler's pantry, delivering both functionality and sophistication.
• Basement double lock-up garage and private storeroom with lift access directly into the residence
• Resort-style amenities such as a heated indoor pool, ducted air conditioning, surround sound and C-Bus lighting
• Quietly secluded at the highest point of the Darling Point peninsula, yet just moments from the vibrancy of Double Bay, Edgecliff and the harbour foreshore
Residence One is more than a home - it is an heirloom. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a place within one of Sydney's most prestigious private estates.
