About this listing
What We Love
Overlooking the Pittwater, you’re welcomed to a one-of-a-kind home, beautifully built and newly renovated and is steeped in sailing history. The former family home of the youngest-ever female sailor to circumnavigate the globe, this is a stay that won’t be forgotten. Combining breathtaking views with stunning architectural features, perfectly complemented by timeless and artisanal interior design, this exquisite property is ready to welcome the most discerning travellers for a rejuvenating escape.
Celebrating a global exploration, this home is a collection of unique moments and memories evoking the well-travelled lives that have traversed its floors. A rare gem, available between travels, this split-level home offers a truly luxurious stay. Spread over three breathtaking levels, you’ll have ample space to relax and enjoy sparkling harbour views. You’ll find your entertaining space on the ground floor. Unwind in your spacious open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, where picture windows let natural light spill over your pure oak and cedar wood floors and white walls. Boasting marble worktops, V-ZUG appliances, and a double sink, your kitchen is the perfect space for those gastronomically inclined. Dine at the formal dining table beneath a recycled and handmade Italian lampshade. Start the day right at your breakfast bar, overlooking a generous neutral sofa, which forms a comfortable relaxing area around a flatscreen TV. Opening the floor-to-ceiling windows allows you to spill out onto the expansive terrace, enclosing multiple entertaining spaces and outdoor seating, perfect for enjoying a sunny BBQ. Cool off in your private pool and spa, complete with sun loungers and daybeds, where you can enjoy a cool beverage from an outdoor Smeg fridge. Venture further and explore the local waters, making the most of the contents of your boat house, which offers paddleboards and two kayaks for aqua adventures.
In the evenings, several guest suites beckon for the perfect, restful slumber. On the top floor, a master suite reveals a king bed beneath Fanar lights, with plenty of space for getting ready with your his-and-hers wardrobe. Continue the luxury in your marble bathroom, complete with a double vanity, bath, and shower. With even more space to unwind, you can enjoy a mini kitchenette to brew your morning coffee before taking in the expansive views from the top-floor terrace. Whatever the size of your group, you’ll have plenty of space to relax. On the first floor, you’ll find three additional sumptuous bedrooms, sharing a full-sized family bathroom with a large shower, bath, and double vanity. Here, you’ll find a queen bedroom with an ensuite and private terrace, a king bedroom, and a split king leading to a front terrace with exquisite water views. No detail has been left untouched with delicate cushions handmade in Narrabeen and locally upholstered ottoman headboards. If that wasn’t enough, there is a second lounge housing a 75-inch TV and an extra powder room. The final bedroom is on the ground floor, with a king single bed and an ensuite shower – perfect for kids or teens preferring a bit of space.
Nestled between two world-famous sailing clubs, Newport is a hidden gem for those seeking a vibrant coastal lifestyle. You’ll find a lively mix of unbeatable dining spots, from the iconic Newport Arms with its unmatched waterside views featuring Bert’s restaurant with its sophisticated European-inspired menu. Just a 6-minute drive away, Avalon offers a charming selection of boutique shops, stylish restaurants, and relaxed cafés, while the golden sands of Avalon Beach beckon for a quintessential Aussie beach day.
