One of the Lower North Shore's finest grand estates, 'Isla' is a stately Federation family home gracing more than 1500sqm of sympathetically landscaped gardens privately positioned less than 300 metres from the heart of Neutral Bay. Originally built in c1903 with ties to iconic Australian architect James Peddle, the main residence is securely set behind a gated circular driveway and is separate to the split-level dual occupancy coach house.
Celebrating its exquisite turn of the century grandeur, soaring patterned ceilings are highlighted by designer lighting and detailed cornicing. A majestic archway links the formal lounge and dining spaces with French doors opening to an idyllic veranda. Stained glass panels adorn many of the bay windows and doors complementing the polished solid timber floors. Delivering the luxury of space, there is an elegant landing at the top of the stairs and a flexible teenage retreat on the upper level. Harbour and city views are welcomed from the top floor and from the luxurious master bedroom suite.
Timelessly updated with a focus on quality and longevity, the open-plan everyday living area centres around the Corian kitchen. Equipped with Wolf cooking appliances and an integrated Subzero refrigerator, the kitchen is sure to impress. Bi-fold doors open out to the timber deck overlooking the swimming pool creating an effortless indoor/outdoor flow. Landscaped to perfection, the grounds are overlooked by a series of romantic verandas and have been masterfully zoned to feature a fixed basketball hoop alongside an outdoor games platform, an oversized mosaic tiled swimming, resort-like entertaining pavilion and child-friendly level lawn.
