To discover this home please watch the property video.

A contemporary interpretation of European Neoclassical design, this newly completed double brick and concrete residence delivers an exceptional fusion of timeless opulence and contemporary refinement. Commanding prized elevation on a blue ribbon avenue and featuring a due north aspect to the rear, the home makes an unforgettable first impression with its formal landscaped approach, terraced stairway, sculptural fountain, central portico and wide wrought-iron double doors adorned with intricate filigree detail creating a dramatic sense of arrival.

Beyond the threshold are two exceptionally appointed levels plus a basement double garage all seamlessly connected by an internal lift. The magnificent foyer and sweeping open living space immediately establish a luxurious tone, where towering coffered ceilings, block cornices, ornate chandeliers and decorative wainscotting are complemented by an illuminated custom staircase featuring polished Panda white marble, richly contrasted by dramatic black veining and graceful wrought-iron balustrading.

Designed for an uncompromised standard of living, the interiors showcase lavish proportions, artisan craftsmanship and a curated palette of premium materials and design elements. A formal lounge is framed by arched windows, a soaring semi-translucent Blue Onyx feature wall and linear fireplace, while an executive office, library or media room offers versatility, separated when desired by a sliding glass wall. Tandur aged-grey natural limestone tiling, Carrara and Calacatta marble, European oak herringbone floors and commercial-grade double glazing throughout the home underscore its prestigious calibre.

Equally impressive in scale and function, the palatial ground floor has been conceived for effortless family living and entertaining. Expansive open concept areas are served by a gourmet island kitchen, butler's pantry/second kitchen and adjoining laundry, with bespoke joinery and premium Miele appliances including a dishwasher, dual ovens and two multi-burner gas cooktops. The main living area spills to a covered alfresco domain complete with landscaped garden surrounds, built-in barbecue and a heated blue mosaic-tiled saltwater pool with sunlounge area and outdoor shower.

Accommodation comprises five oversized bedrooms, including a ground floor suite and three bedrooms each appointed with their own ensuite. The primary master presents as a private sanctuary with a walk-in robe/dressing area and exclusive front balcony, and two of the other upper level bedrooms extend to the rear terrace. All bedrooms, too, are fitted with custom built-in or walk-in robes. Daikin VRV air conditioning, an alarm and dual digital door lock systems add comfort and assurance, while upstairs a second family retreat with wet bar/cellar opens to a substantial north facing terrace capturing leafy outlooks.

In one of St Ives' quieter and more secluded positions, near Garigal National Park, the residence balances tranquility, privacy and convenience with remarkable ease. Bushwalking trails including the Bungaroo and Bare Creek tracks are close by, and there are buses to Gordon Station just 130m away. The home is also 500m from express city buses on Eastern Arterial Road, within 850m of St Ives Public and High Schools and 2.5km from St Ives Shopping Village. Complete with abundant storage, internal access to an automatic double garage and additional parking, this rare and distinguished offering delivers the pinnacle of luxury with enduring appeal.
