Opulent Victorian Estate in Premier Harbourside Locale
An historic 1886 mansion "Alta Mura", a distinguished residence of this caliber rarely comes to market. Originally built in 1886, it's a stately freestanding property reminiscent of a grand London home with soaring high ornate ceilings, rich timber floorboards and sumptuous marble fireplaces. Its 130-year-old grandeur has been meticulously renovated and transformed into one of the most breathtaking homes in Sydney, featuring interiors by Anna Spiro and gardens by Peter Fudge.
There are a number of qualities that make this home truly unique, special and coveted. Firstly, it occupies a huge 746.1sqm parcel of blue-ribbon land centrally placed within 200m of Sydney Harbour foreshore reserves and McMahons Point village shops, cafes and restaurants. Secondly, its whisper-quiet and exceptionally private setting is reminiscent of a country estate. Finally, its clever layout manages to feel warm and connected while also offering completely separate living spaces and bedrooms suites for a functional family lifestyle.
The home reaches the pinnacle of entertaining bliss with seamless indoor/outdoor poolside entertaining crafted to capture northerly sunshine. Only the finest finishes and inclusions have been selected to appoint the gourmet open plan kitchen. The oversized bedroom suites and marble bathrooms are simply divine, and the self-contained retreat is perfect for young adults, in-laws, guests, or a nanny.
The decadent formal and informal living/dining spaces and lavish library, are each themed by a bold colour, showcasing interiors that dreams are made of. For a sense of inspiration, gaze out over the boat-filled waters of Lavender Bay or enjoy a Harbour Bridge cameo from the second level.
