Set on an immense 5,639sqm with dual street frontages, Coppins is one of the North Shore's most significant residences - a fully restored 1936 estate designed by celebrated architect Walter Burley Griffin, with grounds by Paul Bangay. Elevated and north-east-facing, it commands sweeping district views and enjoys light throughout the day. Rarely does a home of this pedigree, scale and privacy come to market.
Behind secure gates, a sweeping circular gravel driveway sets the tone for arrival - more country estate than suburban home. The sandstone exterior is punctuated by striking V-shaped steel doors, positioned to draw in light and frame the gardens and views. Triple entry doors open to a grand foyer and a handcrafted staircase, a genuine ode to 1930s elegance.
Paul Bangay's gardens unfold in distinct chapters around the home - rolling lawns, established plantings, water features and quiet garden rooms - alongside a lap pool, a diving pool and a private glasshouse play space. A separate guest house at the rear, with two ensuited bedrooms, its own outdoor kitchen and alfresco area, offers a self-contained retreat for guests or events.
Inside, two levels of living unfold across formal and casual zones, warmed by fireplaces and opening to the gardens through French doors. A generous terrace extends the entertaining space further. Herringbone oak floors, designer wallpaper and custom cabinetry feature throughout, anchored by a showpiece stone kitchen with a butler's pantry, gas cooktop, twin ovens and wine fridge.
The main house has four bedrooms, each with built-in robes, led by a primary suite that occupies much of the upper wing. It includes a sitting area, concealed cabinetry, walk-in dressing room, marble ensuite with soaking tub, built-in bar and private balcony. A fireplace-warmed home office, ducted air conditioning, surround sound, two laundries and a double garage complete a home built for effortless modern family life.
Positioned on one of the North Shore's premier dress-circle streets, Coppins sits moments from Pymble Station, local shops, Pymble Public School and Pymble Ladies' College, with easy access to Macquarie Park, golf clubs and parkland. A rare chance to own a piece of Australian architectural history.
