Stylish totally private home located right on Sydney Harbour. It combines international allure with magnificent water views and an address of absolute prestige. Designed as a modern residential masterpiece, the intimacy of the glittering water adds an extra dimension to this freestanding home’s refined interiors and superb landscaped gardens. Offering a substantial landmark from the harbour, it’s a wonderful surprise to find how private and quiet this coveted holding really is.
