With street frontages to Ginahgulla and Trahlee roads, this family residence is in one of Bellevue Hill's most exclusive precincts. Owned by the same family for several decades, the property could appeal to builder-developers or home buyers wanting to put their stamp on a classic, older-style house.

On a large block of north-facing land with views of the city, the house has large formal living and dining rooms with high ceilings, bay windows and herringbone parquetry floors. Most rooms open to large sunny terraces or juliet balconies overlooking the landscaped gardens. There are a sandstone cabana, heated swimming pool and stone-flagged driveway leading to a double garage.
