′Sail′ - Visionary Street-to-Waterfront Masterpiece with Panoramic Middle Harbour Views
‘Sail’ is a true
trophy home crafted to perfection by award-winning architect Craig Shelsher in
collaboration with the owner to create a world-class residence in an
exceptionally private and tranquil enclave on the harbour’s edge. Spectacularly
contemporary yet designed to be classic and timeless, it’s a triumph of highly
specified engineering and exquisite craftsmanship over four spectacular levels,
forging an intimate connection to dramatic harbour views which provide a
captivating sensory experience from almost all available vantage points.
Every element has been
carefully considered, executed with precision and showcases a devotion to
creating an environment for living and entertaining. Defined by full double
brick and concrete slab construction with natural split marble architectural
features, double height ceilings, soaring double-glazed windows and doors,
along with granite and hardwood flooring, the home stands on a solid sandstone
plateau on the waterfront with a landscaped terraced garden providing direct
dual access down to sandy beach, secluded Pickering Point Baths and a new
public jetty with boat access for aquatic activities and convenient private
water vessel or taxi transportation into the city.
Following a meticulous
three-and-a-half-year build, the property looks and feels new throughout.
Comprising a remarkable 765sqm approximately of living, 12.5m wide balconies
and sweeping terraces, all four levels are accessible by an internal lift
imported from Italy. The journey begins with a statement entry foyer featuring
a 6.5m high void with a floor-to-ceiling engineered double glass wall and
crystal 8-shape tiered chandelier.
A whole-floor of open
plan living space with the dining area set against a superb 7.5m dry-joint
Italian marble wall boasts an oversized wood burning fireplace and
floor-to-ceiling sliding double glass opening to an entertainment terrace.
There are three stunning New York marble
kitchens with integrated Miele appliances, plus a butler’s pantry to the main,
a large executive office with wet bar, in-built cabinetry, special light and
separate private gated entrance.
Accommodation
comprises six bedrooms including a self-contained two-bedroom private residence
on its own level with matched finishes, appliances and inclusions, a private
separate entrance and internal access. All six bedrooms are appointed with
ensuites, and the opulent master has a separate rain shower and Jacuzzi for two
plus a gas fireplace, walk-in robe and sweeping water views.
The garden level at
the rear is dedicated to entertaining which incorporates a media/cinema room,
kitchenette, wine cellar room, Finnish sauna and large bathroom. There is also
a 12m wide floor-to-ceiling glass wall revealing a gas-heated saltwater swimming
pool, level lawn and terraced harbourfront garden leading down to the beach.
‘Sail’ features
state-of-the-art technology including C-Bus automation, zoned ducted
reverse-cycle air-conditioning with individual in-room controls, a gas
fireplace, CCTV/alarm security, Wi-Fi on every level, commercial-grade
double-glazed E-glass doors and windows, ambient lighting, high-end sound and
temperature insulation, 14 solar panels with a commercial-grade solar water
heating system, heated floors and 4,000L rainwater tank.
An oversized remote
lock-up double garage featuring a triple-insulated garage door, multiple
storage areas and internal access plus additional driveway parking for multiple
vehicles.
With the well thought
out use of space, superior quality finishes and overriding sense of prestige
and exclusivity delivering an idyllic balance in harmony with its surroundings,
this is not simply a home to live in, but one designed to be experienced.
Along with the incredible
views and direct access to the water, ‘Sail’ is situated just 2kms from
Seaforth village, within 3km of a selection of highly regarded schools, 5.4km
