116 High St, North Sydney has a $15m price guide.
The 19th century house Heatherlie – described as the finest property in North Sydney – is about to reset the suburb record.
The High St home last traded in 2017 for $6.075m but after a three-year renovation including excavating sandstone for a triple garage and installing a lift to all levels, the six-bedroom house at 116 High St is set for auction this month with a $15m guide.
The current record for a house in North Sydney is $13.5m, set in January this year for a waterfront property in Adderstone Ave.

The family employed Liskowski Architects to transform the home.
Interestingly, only 5 per cent of residential homes in North Sydney are freestanding houses.
The Tyler family engaged Liskowski Architects to create a world-class home with views of the harbour and the Bridge; and they transformed every room of Heatherlie as well as adding a self-contained flat, a large entertaining terrace and a state-of-the-art kitchen.
Vendor and project manager Mairead Tyler also commissioned interior designer Sarah Jayne Marriott of SJS Interiors to decorate the formal and informal living and dining rooms, the five bathrooms and the vast kitchen with its Castillo marble island bench and Falcon induction cooktop.
The kitchen has a Castillo marble island bench and Falcon induction cooktop.
There are six bedrooms in total.
Two of the bedrooms have ensuites, the bathrooms are finished in natural stone and there are 3.5m high ceilings, stained glass and fanlight windows, European oak floors and original fireplaces but also modern additions such as ducted airconditioning and home automation.
Mairead’s favourite room is the kitchen, especially in winter when the sunshine floods into the room via the conservatory windows. She also loves the terrace off the main bedroom which has the highest and widest view of the harbour.
“This house is whisper quiet yet we are so close to the hive of activities in Kirribilli. And we have the best views of the New Year’s Eve fireworks,” she says.
Agent Adrian Bridges, of Atlas, called 116 High St, North Sydney the suburb’s finest home.
It was built circa 1899 with 180-degree views over Sydney Harbour. The High St wharf and Kirribilli dining are a short stroll away.
This landmark property goes to auction on March 29.
