This magnificent, sprawling home is a rare find. Located at the foot of Bellevue Hill, with a sweeping view of Rose Bay, it’s a perfect base for families and groups looking to luxuriate in style.

From the moment you walk in from the circular driveway, you’ll be struck by the natural light and fresh air that fill this Mediterranean style villa. Sprawling over three floors, with a manicured garden that includes tennis court and a pool, it’s a stylish mixture of tradition and modernity.

There are seven bedrooms, six in the main building and one in the self-contained pool house. The bathrooms number seven, including several en-suites and one of the more inviting tubs you’ll ever have the privilege to soak in.

It’s also a wonderful property for entertaining, thanks to its multiple living and dining areas, formal and informal, indoor and outdoor. The al-fresco kitchen is great for family functions; everyone will be impressed by the plumbed-in gas barbecue, not to mention the pizza oven.

This is the kind of home you rarely need to leave: you can get your exercise on the tennis courts or wandering the grounds, read or watch TV, eat well and relax by the pool drinking in the view (or something a little stronger).
