Grand Federation Residence with Hamptons-Inspired Interiors, Moments from Rose Bay Wharf and Plumer Road Village
Occupying an exceptional 830sqm (approx.) parcel of level land in one of Rose Bay's most tightly held streets, this distinguished Federation residence brings together timeless architectural character, Hamptons-inspired interiors and an extraordinary sense of space. Beautifully appointed and thoughtfully designed around family life, it offers a rare balance of grand proportions, considered luxury and the warmth of a home made to be lived in and loved.
A magnificent entry introduces elegant interiors of remarkable scale, where soaring ceilings, herringbone timber floors, bespoke joinery and exquisite Ralph Lauren chandeliers create an atmosphere of understated sophistication. A series of beautifully appointed formal and informal living and dining spaces caters to every occasion, from relaxed family evenings to more formal entertaining. The living room features a bespoke solid-timber library wall and gas fireplace, while the separate formal dining room is enhanced by its own gas fireplace, creating an intimate setting for memorable dinners.
At the heart of the home, a spectacular marble kitchen combines an oversized island, walk-in pantry, an exceptional suite of premium appliances, flowing seamlessly into an informal dining area that is perfectly suited to everyday gatherings.
The indulgent parents' retreat is a sanctuary of its own, crowned by cathedral ceilings and opening to a private verandah. Separate his-and-hers walk-in wardrobes lead to individual ensuites, beautifully finished in marble and limestone, and a picturesque freestanding bath.
Additional bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings, built-in wardrobes, ensuites and private balconies, creating inviting retreats. An oversized fourth bedroom, complete with built-in robes and its own private entrance, offers exceptional versatility as a guest bedroom, additional family accommodation or substantial home office. A separate upstairs study area and dedicated teenage retreat further enhance the exceptional flexibility and family appeal of this aspirational home.
Beyond the interiors, the home opens to an extraordinary level backyard, where expansive lawns and established landscaped gardens frame a magnificent 15-metre heated swimming pool with a water feature. A complete outdoor kitchen, appointed with a commercial charcoal grill and teppanyaki plate, sets the scene for long lunches and memorable evenings, while the adjoining alfresco living and dining area features an outdoor fireplace, television, Sonos audio and a weather-controlled pergola.
The lifestyle extends further with a dedicated gym, a ten-person sauna, a wine cellar and extensive storage, complemented by a generous double lock-up garage.
Positioned moments from Rose Bay Wharf, Plumer Road Village, the harbour foreshore, parklands, prestigious schools and city transport, this is a substantial family residence of enduring appeal.
