Awarded for its architectural excellence and celebrated in the glossy pages of magazines and coffee table books for its design prowess, this striking contemporary masterpiece rests amid the natural beauty of bushland lining Sailors Bay with pathways off the 1000sqm landholding cascading down to the foreshore. The masterstroke of the team at Stanic Harding Architects, the home was comprehensively rebuilt showcasing innovations and concepts well before its time.
Encased in glass yet enhancing privacy and the sense of seclusion, a towering four-metre-high laminated window to the north floods the interiors with natural light. Transporting the surrounding lush greenery inward, views over Sailors Bay and through Middle Harbour are welcomed from inside and out.
Continually connected to its postcard setting, stacker doors retract to reveal a selection of terraces and courtyard escapes. A courtyard extends off the primary living area and kitchen allowing for effortless entertaining. Well considered, the stainless-steel kitchen benchtops are a practical choice and there is also a five-burner gas cooktop, 900mm undercounter oven, dishwasher and versatile combined butlers' pantry and storage room. Finely crafted with much thought to environmental impacts and longevity, the smokeless Cheminees Philippe fireplace in the primary living room adds to the ambience alongside the built-in custom corner lounge with views and window seat storage.
Presenting four-bedroom sanctuaries, the master bedroom suite sits on the living level with access to its own dressing room and skylit ensuite. A Japanese style bathtub with deluge shower above and electric toilet seat feature in the second bathroom servicing the downstairs bedrooms. All bedrooms are consumed by natural beauty and peacefully look out to the picturesque setting, bedroom two is individually air-conditioned with custom shelving and is versatile as a home office or rumpus room.
Crowned by a showstopping rooftop terrace, sweeping 180-degree views to The Spit are paraded from this elite entertaining space. Hidden from passers-by, a driveway leads guests to a lockup garage and parking bay. Impressive in every way, experience the undeniable charms of Castlecrag living with its total tranquillity and easy access to village life and transport links.
