Offered for the first time in nearly 80 years, Rivenhall is a landmark residence of exceptional heritage significance. Held by the Hordern family since 1947 and designed in 1923 by Stafford Harman Buchanan for Professor Arthur Lindsay Sadler, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Warrawee's most distinguished homes. Set on a substantial, north to rear parcel in a tightly held and prestigious pocket, the property combines timeless architectural elegance with outstanding potential to renovate, restore or reimagine for modern family living (STCA). The home's classic proportions, full brick construction, original features and strong indoor-outdoor connection provide a beautiful foundation for future transformation, whilst still being comfortable as is.
Positioned just moments from Warrawee Station, Knox Grammar, Abbotsleigh, and Wahroonga Village, this blue-chip address delivers both convenience and lifestyle. Properties of this calibre, history and potential are increasingly rare on the Upper North Shore.
