Overview

'Akuna' - Absolute Waterfront and an Icon on Sydney Harbour, with Signature Boathouse, Deepwater Jetty and Panoramic Views.

One of Sydney's prominent harbour mansions, 'Akuna' is an absolute waterfront property that distills the spirit of world-class luxury, wrapped with postcard views that feature the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. This is an extremely rare opportunity to move into a blue-ribbon setting and secure a legendary home on a prime parcel of land, including a private jetty and its heritage 'Pagoda' boathouse right on Seven Shillings Beach. Wolseley Road remains arguably the most valuable strip of land in Australia and No. 20 provides dual access from a discrete frontage at street level or directly from the waterfront. The main residence spans three levels, accompanied be DA approved plans for a transformation by Brian Meyerson of MHN Design Union that will add an extra level and further establish its credentials as one of the country's finest homes. The current home is also a symphony of prestigious architecture designed by Walter Barda and Richard Christian, exhibiting interior design by Michael Love and Thomas Hamel. A tone of classic glamour is on display in curved archways and intricate parquetry flooring. Several round skylights are divine inclusions, as is the grand spiral staircase. The home's grandeur continues in the presentation of the formal lounge room and the formal dining room, this level also features a chef's provincial kitchen with its own dining area, adorned with custom joinery that evokes an authentic European feeling. The level below provides vast casual living space that becomes a spectacular entertaining area, complete with a Teppanyaki kitchen and an elegant home theatre. It offers effortless flow to the waterside expansive level lawn, manicured garden and swimming pool. Further enhanced by the iconic Pagoda Boathouse, private pontoon and calm, deep-water berth offering year-round mooring facilities. One of Sydney's most prestigious family homes, 'Akuna' presents an executive study plus five deluxe bedrooms, most with sublime harbour views. The master suite reflects five-star luxury with two walk-in robes and two ensuites. Located between Rose Bay Village and prestigious Double Bay, Point Piper is positioned moments to acclaimed restaurants, Royal motor Yacht Club and Sydney's finest private schools.
