Harbour-view Estate with Approved DA for One Single Dwelling House and Subdivision Potential on 2,107sqm (approx.)

Commanding a breathtaking 180-degree northerly harbour panorama from its elevated vantage point, this stately original 1890s manor is privately nestled amid 2,107sqm of Italianate grounds.<br/><br/>Retaining the grand proportions, soaring ceilings and working fireplaces typical of the era, the expansive two-storey residence provides a wonderful blank canvas for transformation, giving you carte blanche to build a magnificent trophy home befitting its world-class location. Alternatively, there is scope for subdivision into two or three blocks (STCA).<br/><br/>The residence contains five bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, gracious formal lounge and dining rooms, a TV room, study, formal entry foyer and a dine-in kitchen. Currently used as storage, the fully plumbed under-house level has potential for further development. Along with two garages and two carports, there is off-street parking for multiple additional vehicles.<br/><br/>Bathed in all-day sun with never-to-be-built-out views to Manly and The Heads, the sprawling terraced gardens are dotted with pergolas and secret nooks. There is abundant space to create an expansive level alfresco entertaining area with a pool, stepping down to a championship size tennis court.<br/><br/>A level walk to local village shops, it's mere minutes to some of Sydney's most distinguished private schools and an easy stroll to beautiful Nielsen Park. It is a property of rare stature, distinction and possibilities.
