Classic historical elegance courts contemporary master craftsmanship in a romance of superior style, substance and comfort at Allambie, a landmark deep waterfront residence, nestled privately on over 1200sqm in one of Blakehurst’s most prestigious positions. The charismatic sandstone property, first built in 1860, has been extensively renovated over the years with sensitive and meticulous attention to detail, the most recent and dramatic by the current owners winning several architectural building and design awards, effectively enhancing its original grace, character and charm. The formal ‘parterre’ gardens are as alluring as they are relaxing, artistically manicured and embellished by fragrant jasmine, water features, gazebo, lawn, spa and inground pool, with a paved pathway and gentle steps descending lazily to the level waterfront entertaining area and private sandy beach.

Awash in natural light from a soaring central skylight, with ornate pressed ceilings and leadlight glass windows, the entry level hosts an office, gallery, marble bathrooms and three bedrooms, including loft and majestic master with ensuite, walk-in robe, dual balconies and a 270 degree water panorama.
A graceful spiral stairway sweeps down to the lower level, where a marble foyer accesses a fourth bedroom, bathroom, wine cellar, office (with separate entry) and a tranquil , fern filled courtyard, while expansive water views, a variety of formal/informal living areas and a glorious sunlit north facing ‘conservatory’ kitchen /dining area flowing onto easy entertaining terraces characterize the home.

Proud and resplendent, Allambie is a truly unique opportunity for the distinctly discerning buyer.
