Ultimate urban oasis

Immerse yourself artful living within a residence of contemporary architectural distinction. This stunning standalone 380sqm home on a fee simple 371sqm has been architecturally designed by Sumich Chaplin Architects. Renowned for their award-winning creations that marry refined tradition with sophisticated modernity, this premium quality cedar and concrete retreat is no exception.

Occupying a sun-drenched and elevated west-facing position, it takes full advantage of its lovely green backdrop with views to the Domain and museum as well as the twinkling lights of the city and Sky Tower.

The vast open plan living level is dedicated to both rest and play and is as beautiful as it is practical.

Expansive walls of glazing open up to the outdoor loggia with fireplace perfect for alfresco dining, or relax in the built in spa ready for star gazing. A second lounge maintains a fantastic ambience with its gas fireplace, while an adjacent library can be closed off for ease of separation when entertaining.

The versatile layout offers three bedrooms on the entry level, including the primary with en suite and walk in closet, alongside a chic family bathroom. An excellent addition is the lower level self-contained apartment, presenting a fourth bedroom, ideal AirBnB option or room for extended family or the nanny.
