Rothesay c1868 stands as one of Sydney's finest and most significant sandstone estates, a landmark residence reimagined for a new era while honouring its extraordinary architectural pedigree. Anchored to a spectacular setting at the harbour's edge, the Gothic Revival manor captures panoramic uninterrupted views across Darling Harbour and Barangaroo that sweep across to the city skyline and Anzac Bridge. A masterful restoration and reinvention has ushered in a new chapter for the estate, celebrating its rich heritage while introducing a striking contemporary narrative. Gothic Revival architecture and authentic Tudor-style details have been carefully preserved and masterfully reimagined, creating a compelling dialogue between English manor-house elegance, New York sophistication and Australian colonial character. At its heart, a glass-framed atrium links the original residence with a breathtaking harbourside pavilion where walls of glass frame creating a truly immersive experience. Double-height glass walls form the architectural centrepiece, creating a bold interplay of light, volume and scale while drawing the vista deep into the home. Reinvented for contemporary family living with views that will never be built out, the six-bedroom residence delivers a calibre of amenity rarely found in a private residence with a heated pool, whisky room, guest suite and a five-car garage.
