It's wonderful to see some real character and elegance in a grand family home that has stood the test of time and still looks as charming as the day it was built - days when rooms were large enough for families to share the luxury of a gracious living room and a huge formal dining room, kingsized bedrooms that housed more than one child, and a kitchen/casual dining area and separate family room where everyone could gather. Set amongst terraced gardens, with superb north-easterly views to the harbour, this splendid home boasts handsome woodwork, open fireplaces and elegantly high ceilings, with doors aplenty flowing to various outdoor areas and gardens.

Bellevue Hill
A haven for the privileged, this exclusive hilltop suburb is home to some of Australia's most prominent families who love the privacy of Bellevue Hill's discreet high-walled estates and protective gardens.
Situated 5km from the CBD, many of the residences in this garden sanctuary enjoy commanding views of both Sydney Harbour and the Pacific Ocean. Architecturally, many grand examples of early 20th century architecture remain, refurbished to reflect the affluence that permeates the entire suburb.
Magnificent contemporary masterpieces by renowned contemporary architects sit along side them, and many of the homes are completely secluded from the street, enhancing the air of exclusivity. As you move towards the beach, classic Art Deco apartments become more prevalent, especially on the outskirts of the suburb along Birriga Road.
Two of Australia's most elite private boys' schools are found within its borders, Scot's College and Cranbrook, while a host of others lie in neighbouring suburbs. Bellevue Road provides the suburb's one village shopping area, with a few gourmet food stores and local amenities. The retail giant of Bondi Junction is just next to Bellevue Hill, as is the cosmopolitan high-fashion mecca of Double Bay.
