The inspired revival of one of Sydney’s most significant heritage conversions brings new meaning to the term sanctuary with over 400sqm internally and awe-inspiring views over the city and Harbour Bridge as a perfect complement to its epic interiors. Restored with integrity and meticulous attention to detail, the extraordinary residence is one of only three in the landmark former Convent of the Immaculate Conception designed by pioneering architect Edmund Blacket in 1876 and renowned as one of the city’s finest examples of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. A multi-level design features a choice of living spaces and a highly adaptable layout featuring a versatile self-contained lower level apartment and a lofty guest retreat. Opening to a manicured private garden shaded by an ancient magnolia tree, this masterpiece of design has been lovingly curated allowing the significant heritage features to shine while offering every creature comfort. Freestanding to the north, natural light streams into the home through Gothic windows while a magnificent stained glass window presides over the state-of-the-art kitchen creating a magical jewel-like effect. A true one-of-a-kind, this incredible property combines historic splendour with cutting-edge design at the highest point on the peninsula with views from The Great Gallery is simply breathtaking and is enhanced by 8m high ceilings that bring a sense of theatre and maximise the impact of the world-class vista.
