27 Wycombe Road Neutral Bay, NSW 2089

A nostalgic beauty, this freestanding c1880s storybook home designed by iconic architect Walter Liberty Vernon and proudly graces a 626qm landholding just one block back from the Sydney Harbour foreshore. Basking in a sought-after north easterly aspect, light and airy interiors seamlessly flow out to resort style living at the rear.

Privately set away from the street with secure gated parking for multiple cars, the landmark frontage is subtly enhanced by Peter Fudge designed gardens complementing the original iron filigree balustrading with a bullnose awning covering the wraparound veranda. Exuding Victorian Italianate charm, arrive home to a grand wide hallway and soaring 14-foot ceilings. The formal sitting room and library stem off the hallway, a gas fireplace warms the elegant sitting room with original French doors stepping outside.

Sympathetically updated to meet the needs of modern family life, the rear extension focuses on the connection to the backyard and 10 metre heated swimming pool. Holding a clear line of sight from the kitchen to the pool, bi-fold doors open out to the entertaining patio and level lawns. Internally, a wood burning fireplace acts as the focal point in the lounge, the dining space is practically placed nearby the granite kitchen.

Sure to impress, a strategic skylight naturally illuminates the central staircase. Four inviting bedrooms rest on the upper level including a stunning master suite. Enjoying a sunny dual aspect, the master showcases a wall of built-in robes and adjoins its own heated ensuite bathroom. The family bathroom also features underfloor heating and heated towel rails, and all bedrooms boast ceiling fans. The second bedroom is equipped with built-in joinery with study station and opens to the romantic front balcony.

A rarity within the exclusive harbourside community of Kurraba Point, discover the endless lifestyle benefits this long-term family home offers. Positioned just 400 metres from harbour fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding at Hayes Street Beach, explore the foreshore at your leisure upon nearby walking trails and travel into the city centre in style by ferry.
