Rarely does a residence manage to be both a sanctuary of historic elegance and a showcase of cutting-edge contemporary design, but this rare Double Bay villa stands in a class of its own. Following an extensive Jones Architects rebuild and modernisation, the home has been transformed into an expansive masterpiece where heritage grandeur meets industrial sophistication.
Upon entry, a wide hallway and warm oak flooring lead you into a formal lounge that invites quiet evenings by a toasty fireplace, surrounded by exquisite wall panelling and stunning parquet floors. In a striking transition to the modern heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen, dining and second lounge area features a jaw-dropping concrete ceiling by the renowned Cameron Ireland, anchored by a cutting-edge seamless black kitchen and a full butler’s pantry.
The living experience is defined by a seamless integration with the outdoors, as floor-to-ceiling glass walls dissolve the boundary between the interior and a spectacular resort-style oasis. Here, you can host guests by the large inground concrete pool and spa, complete with an outdoor fireplace, built-in BBQ and drinks fridge—an entertainer’s dream realised.
The master suite serves as a true retreat, offering a big walk-in wardrobe and a stylish, well-appointed ensuite, while two additional large bedrooms are served by a luxurious family bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a freestanding soak tub.
The home’s thoughtful layout includes a dedicated study, a separate laundry, and a versatile downstairs media or gym room. Practicality is handled on a grand scale with massive four-car internal access garaging and significant storage. Tucked away in a peaceful enclave just moments from the vibrant eateries and bars of Jervois Road, this property offers the ultimate lifestyle balance: immediate access to the city’s best hustle and bustle with the ability to retreat into the absolute privacy of an architectural sanctuary.
