Beyond compare

An exquisite c1911 Arts and Crafts style Federation residence forms the foundation for this meticulously redesigned ‘Uralla’ residence that rests on an exquisitely landscaped near level double block of land with panoramic ocean and harbour views. Harmoniously combining the grandeur of yesteryear with today’s design innovations and luxury appointments, it flows over three majestic levels with multiple living spaces flowing to fabulous alfresco entertaining areas, and it comes complete with two separate self-contained studio flats offering additional income streams or flexible living options.
