5 Marine Parade, Watsons Bay

Experience a prized bayside lifestyle and enjoy a wonderful combination of breathtaking harbour views, spacious light-filled interiors and private low-maintenance grounds. This extremely rare offering is more a way of life than simply a place to live, and is now on the market for the first time in over 50 years, having provided a treasured home for family living and entertaining. A major highlight of the property is the stunning panoramas that stretch over Watsons Bay's boat-filled waters to the Harbour Bridge and city skyline beyond. The interiors are designed to evoke a romantic feeling of living on the water and take full advantage of the magical vistas. There are wide alfresco terraces, a large upper-level balcony and a landscaped garden at the rear providing leafy privacy. Having undergone an architectural reconfiguration by Sir John Crawford AC CBE back in the 1970s, the home is perfectly comfortable and well-appointed throughout with flowing living spaces, four upstairs bedrooms, a separate home office and a huge basement level garage with room for three cars, boat or kayak storage, a wine cellar and workshop. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to secure a slice of paradise and become a part of this privileged waterfront enclave in one of Watsons Bay's most desirable addresses. The Watsons Bay Baths are right at the front door, and it's a short level stroll through Robertson Park to the famed Doyle's restaurant, Watsons Bay Beach and the ferry wharf. There is also outstanding future scope for its fortunate purchaser to further update or renovate and create a custom lifestyle residence and truly capitalise on such an exceptional position.
