Set on 618sqm at the edge of the Georges River, 196A St George Crescent is one of those rare properties where the land, the home and the waterfront all work together. A private registered pontoon and jetty place boating, fishing and kayaking quite literally at the bottom of the garden, while the absence of a neighbour to the right creates a sense of openness and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find on Sydney's waterfront.
There is something particularly special about Sandy Point through spring and summer. Long afternoons on the balcony, boats moving quietly along the river, evenings by the water and weekends that can begin without leaving home. Here, terraced sandstone gardens lead gently down to the river's edge, with a kayak shed, pontoon and jetty making the waterfront genuinely usable rather than simply something to admire from a distance.
The setting is equally compelling. Bushland and national park frame the property, with walking trails and fishing nearby, yet Sydney Airport is around 30 minutes away. Behind the gated entry, the home feels remarkably removed from the city, with uninterrupted river views and a level of seclusion that gives the property its own distinct character.
Custom-built in 2000, the residence carries a warm Tuscan influence, expressed through terracotta roof tiles, a sweeping marble staircase, broad balconies and generous proportions. The main living level brings together the kitchen, dining and living spaces around the river outlook, opening naturally onto the balcony and making the water the constant backdrop. A rare four-car garage, substantial storage and a flexible salon or studio space add another layer of practicality.
Upstairs are three bedrooms and a home office, with the master suite enjoying a walk-in robe, ensuite and its own private waterfront balcony - a quiet place to begin the day looking directly across the river.
Downstairs, the home becomes even more versatile. With separate access, kitchenette and bar, living area, large bedroom, study and second laundry, it functions almost as a self-contained retreat and opens directly onto the riverside garden. It is a layout particularly well suited to extended family, older children, guests or those wanting a distinct space away from the main home.
Sandy Point remains one of Sydney's most tightly held and distinctive lifestyle pockets - surrounded by water and bushland, peaceful in character and remarkably well connected to the wider city.
Properties combining genuine deep-water access, privacy, usable waterfront infrastructure and this kind of setting are exceptionally difficult to replace. 196A St George Crescent is not simply a home with a view; it is a property shaped around the river, and an opportunity to enjoy one of Sydney's most unique waterfront lifestyles.
