Sitting in the living room at 40 Carlton Crescent, all you can see is Kogarah Bay. The whole horizon, unobstructed, from every seat in the house. Boats on the water, light shifting across the bay through every hour of the day. It is the kind of view that stops people the moment they walk in and stays with them long after they leave.
The kitchen here appeared on the cover of Kitchen & Bathroom Style Magazine. The master ensuite was featured across two pages inside. The editors of House & Garden came and took their photographs. Now, for the first time in many years, 40 Carlton Crescent is offered to the market.
The entry level is built entirely around the outlook. A grand open plan living, dining and kitchen space opens to the bay through full width sliding doors, flowing seamlessly to an 8.8 metre entertaining balcony where the water stretches to the horizon. The kitchen that earned its place on a magazine cover anchors the space with black granite benchtops, a full gas range, premium appliances and an oversized pantry. A gas fireplace sits at the heart of the living area. Every seat in this space, at every hour of the day, faces the water.
Descend the curved timber staircase with its ornate ironwork balustrade and the water follows you. The middle level master suite spans 8.6 by 7.2 metres with a walk-in robe and private balcony overlooking the bay. The ensuite, featured across two pages of a National Design Magazine, houses a spa bath positioned directly in front of floor to ceiling windows overlooking the water, a curved steam shower with full body jets, double glass vessel basins and a chandelier overhead. It is one of the finest private bathrooms in Sydney's south and the view from the bath is the reason why.
The lower level gives itself over to entertaining entirely. A home theatre, pool room and bar with bathroom opens to the garden below, where a private courtyard with pergola, fire pit, stone seating and mature tropical plantings provides a genuine retreat. Ornamental ponds and an ornate iron gate complete the picture.
Double lock-up garage and additional storage throughout. A position on one of Kogarah Bay's most tightly held streets. The view alone is irreplaceable. Everything else is extraordinary on top of it.
