Set within the storied 1890s mansion 'St Helens'designed by and once the private residence of Walter Liberty Vernon, NSW's distinguished Government Architectthis extraordinary garden-level home represents a remarkable meeting of heritage, architecture and contemporary luxury.
A formal foyer provides a fitting introduction, unfolding into a spectacular living and entertaining domain where grand proportions, abundant natural light and soaring architectural presence make an immediate impression. Beautifully considered interiors balance the romance of the original residence with refined contemporary finishes, from parquetry floors and internal French doors to designer lighting and bespoke hardware.
The home's intelligent, house-like layout provides exceptional privacy, with bedroom accommodation thoughtfully positioned at either end of the residence. The master suite is a luxurious retreat of its own, while two additional bedrooms enjoy the comfort and convenience of their own bathroom or ensuite.
At the heart of the home, a breathtaking marble kitchen makes a dramatic statement, combining beautiful craftsmanship with everyday functionality. Gas cooking, premium appointments and an integrated bar create a space equally suited to relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining.
Beyond the interiors, manicured gardens, a stone-paved courtyard and level lawn create a wonderfully private sanctuaryan increasingly rare luxury in such a tightly held harbourside setting. Gated on-title parking adds further convenience and value.

The Cremorne Point Walk is virtually at your doorstep, while Kurraba Point and Hayes Street ferries are both within easy reach, each surrounded by their own collection of cafés and village amenities. Anderson Park, Hayes Street Beach, buses and Military Road are also close by.
