A home of rare scale and serenity, this exceptional residence offers an expansive sense of space paired with refined luxury, creating a private family sanctuary wrapped in a resort-style garden oasis in a prized, leafy central setting. Elevated upper-level outlooks capture sweeping north-easterly vistas across the harbour to the ocean, while the contemporary architectural design delivers effortless liveability with lift access to both levels, a generous media lounge, and a superb open-plan rear living domain. Here, distinct yet connected living, dining and casual family spaces unfold around a striking terrazzo island kitchen, all flowing seamlessly to the outdoors. Set on a near-level 603sqm parcel, the home embraces year-round entertaining with sun-soaked alfresco terraces and a sparkling heated pool framed by lush, meticulously landscaped gardens designed for complete privacy. Despite its tranquil seclusion, it is only moments from village conveniences, city and Manly transport, quality schools, and North Harbour Reserve.
