A slice of luxurious Hollywood Hills mid-century style just minutes from the Harbour Bridge and CBD, this exceptional oasis on a quiet cul-de-sac is a design lover's dream. Architectural and extraordinary, with a distinctly calming Scandinavian vibe and uninterrupted views across native bush to the harbour, it's like being on holiday every day. The home, which sits elevated away from the street, was built in the 1960s and extensively renovated by a team that included interiors architect Penny Hay in 2006. It impresses at every turn, providing multiple spaces for entertaining and relaxing both indoors and out. Celebrations are a must in the open plan living, dining and kitchen area, with floor to ceiling glass through which to take in that panoramic vista. Throw open the doors to the verandah, or cosy up in the lounge warmed by the chic suspended 'Cocoon' fireplace. Tasmanian oak floors flow to the entertainer's kitchen, with its almost never ending bench space, double oven, cleverly concealed storage and European appliances. Adjacent is a multifunctional office nook that could easily be configured as a casual family space, and doors open out to decking and a patio for al fresco dining. The master bedroom sports extensive custom wardrobing and a recently refurbished en suite with double vanity, and is cantilevered over the driveway for a feeling akin to a treehouse. A family bathroom is also impeccably appointed, again with twin sinks and designer touches, and is shared by two generous double bedrooms. Both come with bespoke storage options, one with private access to the back patio. With high spec additions such as DVS ventilation, a fully wired sound system, large laundry complete with drying bar, double internal garage + 2 car spaces on a generous 688m2 site, this impeccable property offers an ultra-desirable lifestyle just steps from Le Roy's Bush, Little Shoal Bay. AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD TO WED 5.30pm Ponsonby Central (Sapphire Room)
