37a New Street, Balgowlah Heights

Architecturally designed to take full advantage of its secluded treetop setting and sun-washed northerly aspect, this substantial contemporary masterpiece provides an enchanting resort-like escape in the exclusive heart of the peninsula. Soaring across three glass-embraced levels with leaf-filtered district views at every turn, its streamlined and flexible layout features three living zones and seamless flow to a series of sun-dappled terraces with a sparkling pool. Built from the ground-up in 2004 and recently renovated, it features a deluxe open plan stone kitchen, a superb main bedroom suite, stylish bathrooms and a versatile guest, teen or in-law retreat area on the lower floor. Hushed away on the high side of a cul-de-sac opposite a leafy reserve, it is footsteps to Brimbecom Park/Playground, village shops and city buses and a short stroll from Balgowlah Heights Public School or picturesque North Harbour Reserve.
