Set on approximately 2,095 sqm of level north facing grounds, this extraordinary sandstone residence offers breathtaking water views and exceptionally wide frontage to the Lane Cove River.
Originally built as 2 adjacent stone cottages this is a home of distinction at the end of a picturesque cul de sac. Incomparable in all that it offers, purists will delight in the home’s rich history and restored period features not to mention the enormous level garden and magnificent deep verandahs onto which all living and dining rooms open. Bathed in northerly sunshine with a jetty and pontoon and enjoying the gentle sounds of lapping waters at the sandstone sea wall and birdsong adding finishing touches to the home’s graceful French influences.
A significant landmark from the water yet blissfully private, Figtree House is a short drive to some of Sydney’s best schools and shopping precincts.
Features include: Cobbled private driveway to generous 4 car garage, pavilion, main entrance hall, drawing room, formal dining room, breakfast room, galley kitchen and sitting room.
4 principal bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, separate self contained quarters with a 5th bedroom, 4th bathroom, eat in kitchen, living/dining and air conditioning. 2 lower level historic stone rooms provide an ideal games room and adjoining sitting room.
