A historic estate of rare distinction in the heart of Sydney's east, 'Carmel' is a magnificent Mediterranean-style property on an approx. 1,300sqm north facing landholding in an exclusive enclave at the edge of cosmopolitan Double Bay.
Originally designed by F. Glynn Gilling in 1935 for prominent stockbroker Stanley Utz, this stately property has enjoyed a rich pedigree, home to a select group of society leaders and now restored with every element meticulously considered to create a world-class property of international appeal.
A grand entrance foyer, palatial proportions and soaring ceilings evoke a sense of old-world Hollywood glamour and timeless elegance, with a vast series of magnificent formal and informal areas extending to tumbled Limestone terraces enjoying breath-taking 180-degree views over Sydney Harbour.
