An exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire one of Vaucluse's most distinctive residences, this remarkable architectural landmark is a property of both provenance and presence. Originally designed by acclaimed 20th-century architect Donald Gazzard, it represents some of his most compelling modernist work and has been meticulously reimagined as a sophisticated contemporary interpretation of an important piece of Sydney's architectural history. Set moments from Vaucluse's exclusive harbour beaches and footsteps to the idyllic waters of Parsley Bay, it offers an extraordinary combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, scale and an exceptional harbourside lifestyle.
Positioned across an extraordinary approx. 2,000sqm parcel, the residence occupies a commanding setting with panoramic Harbour views sweeping from Manly to the Harbour Bridge. Its scale, setting and architectural pedigree combine to create a property of singular character rarely found, particularly in such an exceptional harbour-side setting.
The original architectural character has been complemented by an exceptional level of contemporary craftsmanship, with bespoke interiors exclusively custom designed and made by Boffi throughout, including the kitchen and bathrooms. The result is a refined and cohesive material palette that brings together the residence's modernist origins with an understated contemporary sensibility.
Vast living, dining and entertaining spaces unfold beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, rising to an impressive 12 metres at their peak, with expansive glazing drawing natural light deep into the interiors and amplifying an extraordinary sense of volume and openness.
At the heart of the home, the custom-designed Boffi kitchen is conceived for both serious culinary use and effortless entertaining, appointed with an extensive suite of Gaggenau appliances and an impressive 7 metre island that forms a natural centrepiece to the living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling timber-framed glass doors open seamlessly to an oversized private terrace with sweeping Harbour views providing a spectacular backdrop for intimate occasions or grand-scale celebrations.
The generous bedrooms continue the residence's refined material palette, with luxurious Carrara marble ensuites, brushed-brass tapware and rainwater showers. The master suite is distinguished by a sculptural freestanding bath, creating a private retreat of understated luxury.
With parking for eight cars and the tranquil waters of Parsley Bay within strolling distance, the residence is moments from Vaucluse village and all the amenities of Sydney's prestigious eastern suburbs.
