14 Parsley Rd, Vaucluse NSW 2030, Australia

One of only a handful of homes backing onto the natural splendour of Parsley Bay Reserve, this private harbourside haven is embraced by lush established gardens on a prime 564sqm approx just footsteps to the idyllic beach and waterfront playground. Cocooned in luxury and hidden from view, the two-storey home unfolds to create a perfect environment for families with a warm palette of materials, multiple indoor and outdoor living areas and sunny north-facing garden that seemingly integrates with the parkland beyond. Dating to the 1920s, the sandstone treasure has been tastefully redesigned to bring in the light with soaring cathedral ceilings adding a new dimension to the front of the home while a sequence of alfresco living spaces makes entertaining a dream. A flexible layout features a separate home office with ensuite or fifth bedroom plus a family room while the lower level is conceived as an entertainer’s haven with a huge rumpus room opening to the sunny garden. With internal access to double garaging, this gorgeous home is surrounded by nature in an exclusive cul-de-sac enclave between Vaucluse village and historic Vaucluse House with close proximity to top schools.
