Set high and proud on one of Warrawee's most coveted streets, "Morland," a late Federation estate circa 1916, crafted during the rare architectural shift toward the emerging early bungalow era, commands a 34 metre frontage and a true north to rear aspect on approximately 1400 square metres of level land. Pibrac Avenue is regarded as one of the Upper North Shore's most prized and tightly held addresses. Positioned in a quiet cul-de-sac with minimal traffic, it offers prestige, privacy and calm. In this exclusive pocket, very few homes truly captivate from the street the way this one does. The elevated stance, the symmetry and the breadth of the facade create a presence that is both powerful and refined.
Homes of the late Federation era used verandas as the original indoor to outdoor connection, and "Morland" honours that philosophy. Wide verandas extend from selected living areas and bedrooms and are positioned to the northeast to capture sunlight and breezes. They act as outdoor rooms and link the home to its gardens. Inside, soaring ceilings, original fireplaces and generous proportions anchor the formal lounge and dining rooms before the home transitions into relaxed family spaces. The kitchen and bathrooms are timeless and elegant, updated with restraint and in keeping with the era of the home.
The layout of the home also supports single level living. Main family zones and several bedrooms are positioned on the entry level, allowing day to day life to occur without the use of stairs. The entire upper level is dedicated to a private master retreat. From here, a viewing window frames a tranquil, uninterrupted outlook to the north over Warrawee. It feels removed from the main hub of the home and offers a genuine sense of escape.
"Morland" represents the essence of Upper North Shore living. Presence. Space. Light. Properties that offer this rare combination of street presence, aspect, land size and late Federation character, built in that short, beautiful era where Federation craftsmanship met the early bungalow ideals of simplicity and lifestyle, are seldom offered and almost impossible to recreate.
Past ownership of "Morland" is measured in decades, with each custodian staying on average 25 to 30 years a true estate home in one of the area's most admired streets.
