A rare offering of exceptional privacy and seclusion on the elevated northern slopes of Bellevue Hill, this classic residence stands in parklike grounds on approximately 1,346sqm north-facing land with vast sunny gardens and breathtaking harbour views over Rose Bay to Mosman and Manly. Held by one family for more than 50 years, the house was originally built in 1925 and extensively altered in 1939 with a second storey addition designed by the acclaimed architect Professor Leslie Wilkinson.
Hidden from the street, the dual-access property surprises when entered via a pedestrian path on Latimer Road to reveal the gracious Inter-war Mediterranean style residence set high in grandly scaled grounds with level lawns and a terraced lower garden with fountain. At the rear frontage on Vista Lane are a gate and a tandem two-car garage providing easy access to the house with its symmetrical façade and central loggia reflecting Wilkinson's distinctive design signature.
Presenting a once in a lifetime opportunity with exciting potential, the five-bedroom three-bathroom family entertainer captures beautiful harbour views from the living areas on the ground floor and all bedrooms on the upper level. Ready for renovation, the light-filled interiors include living and dining rooms, family room, study, powder room, kitchen and casual dining area flowing to a sheltered garden courtyard. Blue-chip location close to excellent schools, village shopping and the harbour.
