Grand estate, unrivalled Avalon setting

Claiming one of Avalon's most iconic and historical landholdings, 60-62 Chisholm Avenue is a grand estate of unparalleled beauty and position; spanning over 8,000sqm with 360° views from the ocean to Pittwater, it's extraordinary property - there's absolutely nothing else like it on the Northern Beaches. The main residence has been architecturally designed to complement the natural landscape with clean, minimalist lines, vast expanses of glass and an innovative pavilion layout; the entire residence has been beautifully integrated into the surrounding bushland.

The secondary home is an Australian classic from an entirely different era; built by Alexander Stuart Jolly in 1936 from native sandstone and timber, the four-bedroom cottage has been perfectly maintained in near-original form. It's almost like time-travel to walk over the threshold - the romance and character of this unique home are impossible to replicate.

There is excellent potential to further develop, given the size of the landholding (STCA); in addition, the lots can be purchased separately. Think of it as a private compound - one that can easily grow with your family, and be passed on to the next generation.
