INSPECT STRICTLY BY PRE-ARRANGED APPOINTMENT ONLY
Magnificently positioned upon one of the Upper North Shore's few remaining private acreage estates, c1915 "Carinya", has been exquisitely restored and extended with no expense spared. Spectacular high coffered ceilings are highlighted by stunning original skylights and leadlight windows. Sweeping formal and casual living spaces of grand proportions, detailed with heritage features elegantly merge traditional fireplaces, double-hung bespoke joinery and a French chandelier with the contemporary comfort of ducted air conditioning, surround sound in selected rooms and bathrooms and laundry with heated flooring.
Incorporating Gaggenau and Miele appliances, a central kitchen impresses with a butler's pantry boasting waiter access to the dining room, and a dumb waiter servicing a lower-level wine cellar adjoining a dedicated billiard room housing a restored bespoke century-old Heiron & Smith snooker table and chiffonier cue-rack and scoreboard. Generous bedrooms, multiple study areas and high-specification ethernet cabling deliver work-from-home ease enhanced by an expansive and versatile loft and exceptional workshop designed to accommodate two vehicle hoists if desired.
Sprawling heritage gardens landscaped with established trees, exotics, and fruit trees showcase a paved oversized outdoor chess board, a superb north-to-south championship-sized lawn tennis court, and a breathtaking 12.5m solar heated saltwater pool overlooked by an all-weather entertaining terrace. A tightly held position, holding subdivision potential (STCA), and prized walking convenience to Wahroonga Village, and the train station and private schools.
