Woollahra 3
Set over three levels, this stately mansion in Woollahra is a model of contemporary living whilst maintaining an ode to timeless architecture.
This residence seamlessly blends the past and present. The extensive renovation and re-arrangement of the ‘old wing’ introduces a modern relevance through sleek, minimalist design. Tall ceilings, decorative panelling and moulded trims preserve its timeless character, while timber shutters, steel-framed windows and a restored timber verandah complete the home’s romance.
Old-world classic style morphs into a modern sophistication via a newly constructed wing. A contemporary large kitchen and family room with polished concrete floors and crisp lines flows out to a gravel terrace, and is aesthetically linked with the old wing through the use of oversized steel-framed windows and doors.
The home is finished in a classic palette of colours and natural materials. Bathrooms feature honed Calacatta marble, Italian mosaics and ash fossil limestone, while the living room fireplace is clad in basalt stonework. The outdoor space features timber and Tamala limestone fencing and Mount White sandstone paving, and gravel.
The home’s commitment to contemporary living is further reflected in its extensive amenities and sustainable design. A solar-heated lap pool with an automated cover, solar-powered systems, and a stormwater tank for landscape irrigation highlight its environmental focus. A six-passenger lift connects all three levels, complemented by a full audio-visual system, theatre, gym, scullery, steam room and dedicated staff accommodation.
