52 Olola Avenue, Vaucluse

Designed by acclaimed architect Luigi Rosselli, this extraordinary harbourside residence is a masterclass in timeless elegance, offering a private sanctuary directly opposite Vaucluse House and just moments from the shores of Vaucluse Bay. Celebrated for its striking aesthetic and refined architectural design, the home has been featured in leading interiors publications, most recently Belle Magazine, and is regularly selected as a backdrop for editorial photo shoots. A sophisticated European sensibility defines the interiors, where form and function come together through a rich palette of limestone, wide recycled Blackbutt floors, textured rendered walls and expansive walls of glass. French louvred doors and windows invite abundant northern light and cooling breezes throughout, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. At the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed sandstone kitchen is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, complete with a six-burner gas cooktop, an oversized island bench and fully equipped butler's pantry. Beyond, expansive open-plan living and dining zones flow to a secluded wrap-around European oasis framed by vine-clad walls, lush romantic gardens and whimsical courtyards. A sparkling central swimming pool forms the centrepiece of the outdoor domain, framed by a series of lush alfresco spaces and accompanied by integrated barbecue area, designed for relaxed entertaining or peaceful retreat. At the rear of the garden, a charming art studio offers wonderful versatility and could easily serve as a pool cabana or guest house. Accommodation is equally impressive, with five beautifully appointed bedrooms, four positioned on the upper level, each opening to charming Juliet balconies with leafy green outlooks bathed in sunshine. The luxurious master suite is a private haven, featuring his-and-her walk-in wardrobes, study area and a Carrara marble ensuite with a freestanding bath and double vanity. Two additional marble bathrooms and a beautiful guest powder room complete the accommodation. Further highlights include zoned ducted air conditioning, two premium gas fireplaces, extensive custom storage and internal access to a double garage.
