With its rare double waterfront block on Scotland Island in Pittwater in Sydney’s north, this luxurious and striking residence is the ultimate weekender haven.
The five bedroom, five bathroom residence at 103 Florence Terrace, Scotland Island, has hit the market via an Expressions of Interest campaign, with a price guide of $7.8 million.
Sales agent Noel Nicholson from Ray White Prestige Palm Beach said the offshore residence – which last sold eight years ago for $5 million – has attracted keen buyer interest, and he expected it to attract a particular type of buyer.
“Similar to the buyer who owns it now, that is financially well-heeled, that wants something worth a bit more … rather than driving a Mercedes, it would be more like an Aston Martin - that type of individual that wants privacy, close to Sydney and I think unique is probably the key word there,” he said.
The winner of a Housing Industry Association, 'Home of the Year' accolade in 2010, the architect-designed residence dubbed 'Pittpoint Waters', features a striking wrap-around balcony offering 180-degree views of Pittwater.
“It's just so private. It's multi pavilion style, with different levels in different sections,” Mr Nicholson said.
“I just say it’s one of those properties, you just go into it to relax, because it's on a double waterfront block, it's got huge east facing views.
“It's just such a unique, restful property.”
Among the property’s many highlights are a big home office and billiards room with a bar, guest accommodation within a separate pavilion, two laundry rooms, Blackbutt timber flooring, a Jetmaster fireplace and ducted underfloor air-conditioning.
On the grounds, there is a heated swimming pool and spa, as well as an outdoor shower, and the lush lawns and gardens are level to the waterfront.
Offering direct boat access from Newport, Mr Nicholson said the residence’s boating facilities, and waterfront lifestyle were unparalleled.
“It has a long, very good quality jetty,” he said.
“It also has a slipway, which is very rare, and it also has a double boat shed, so it ticks all the boxes for a unique waterfront property.”
