9 Coorabin Road, Northbridge, NSW 2063

A showcase of architectural excellence matched only by its world class setting, this iconic waterfront masterpiece rests on a spectacular 1146sqm landholding stretching down to the protected waters of Sailors Bay. Due north facing and nestled within its very own microclimate, 453sqm of internal living space is awash with natural light and 180-degree bushland and harbour views across all vantage points.

Proudly awarded as the 'Best Residential House' in NSW and Australia in 1997, the original c1950s Douglas Snelling design was masterfully and holistically recreated in a major renovation in 1995 by celebrated architect Alec Tzannes. Inspired by the natural beauty of the Sydney Harbour foreshore, the materials palette of sandstone, timber and glass allow the postcard setting to shine through into this architecturally significant residence. Outlined by expansive entertaining terraces, oversized glass doors and picture windows maximise the outlook and winter sun.

Linked by a private lift connecting the gated driveway and car accommodation to the living areas and bedrooms, the residence is versatile in its configuration with the scope to provide additional bedrooms. Instantly impressive, the main living expanse is bordered by decking and opens to both a serene reflecting pool and an incredible Middle Harbour vista. Anchored by a double-sided sandstone fireplace, the living and dining are set alongside the chef's kitchen. A second kitchen is placed within the poolside loggia and mirrors the same calibre of finish as the main kitchen. The ultimate entertainer, an acoustically optimised home theatre with 60 people capacity and kitchenette has been intuitively customised to create an easily adaptable multi-purpose space.

Newly enhanced through modern high-end inclusions, new decking, resurfaced sandstone and fresh paint, these upgrades all combined to ensure the longevity of this harbourside landmark home. To be sold with a long list of extras, items of special appeal include ducted underfloor heating, air-conditioned bedrooms, bespoke built-in furniture, wine cellar, photographers' darkroom and artist's studio or workshop.

A private utopia hidden from the streetscape, the home's rare offset is pushed right out toward the harbour in front of neighbouring houses. Presenting as a retreat for the senses and the soul, unmatched tranquillity is achieved through its connection to the waterfront. Stroll down to the harbour at your leisure with great access for kayaks, paddleboards and small vessels. Perfect for the boating enthusiasts, Northbridge Marina is only 20 metres away for large boat owners.
