The seller describes the house as unique with a sense of character and elegance.
Owner Ning Huang bought the landmark estate five years ago after being drawn to the
property’s location, scale, and design.
“I loved the architectural style and the fact the previous owner had renovated it in a way that is both artistic and elegant,” Ms Huang said.
“It’s so unique, with this sense of character and elegance.”
In total the house boasts a 900sq m floorplan, and includes formal and informal living areas, a dedicated office, home theatre, and expansive outdoor entertaining spaces.

Inside, luxury finishes abound, ranging from delicate chandeliers to timber accents, granite and marble benchtops, French doors, and elegant fireplaces. Entered via a colonnade leading to a grand entry foyer, the property’s ground level includes a formal lounge, living area, family room, kitchen, and dining space connecting to an expansive entertaining area overlooking the water. “I love the kitchen because it is so beautiful and is fantastic for entertaining,” Ms Huang said.
“We spend a lot of time there and it’s both practical and gorgeous. “When we’re entertaining friends, we’ll often sit there enjoying a drink and then there are also outdoor areas on both sides of the house, so there is always somewhere to relax and enjoy the sun in winter or the breeze in summer.”
The home has been fantastic as an entertainer, according to the owner.
That staircase!
The ground level also features a studio and a guest suite, while the lounge area offers views across the water to the hinterland. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms plus a master suite which occupies an entire wing of the home and features its own private balcony.
“We love enjoying a glass of wine on that balcony while taking in the Gold Coast skyline, mountain views, and city lights,” Ms Huang said.

The property goes to auction on July 17.
On the lower level, the home theatre also overlooks the water, while the dedicated office has its own entryway and enjoys a private position above the garage.
“I love the kitchen and the lounge area is great for reading, while my husband loves the office upstairs,” Ms Huang said.
“It’s so spacious and private but also has an amazing view.”
Positioned on a quiet cul-de sac among prestige homes, the property is just a 600m stroll to the cafes, restaurants, shops, and the amenities of Sorrento Village, while elite schools, the Gold Coast arts precinct and Surfers Paradise are also a short drive away.
Set to go to auction on July 17, the property is listed with Sam Guo and Selina Lancette of Kollosche.
