Flanking the Woollahra Golf Club between the coastal playgrounds of Rose Bay and Bondi Beach, the genteel suburb of Bellevue Hill is renowned as one of Sydney’s most exclusive addresses. A magnet for eastern suburbs buyers with school-aged children, Bellevue Hill is one of the leafiest suburbs with parkland all around but just five kilometres to the city offering residents proximity to nature and open space but just a quick trip into the CBD. Laying claim to some of Sydney’s most historic houses, Bellevue Hill lives up to its name and has been home to Sydney’s most influential including the Fairfax family, Kerry and James Packer, Lachlan Murdoch and Toni Colette.

Every now and then a truly special property comes to market and Alexander Phillips has listed a family home at 105 O’Sullivan Road, Bellevue Hill that stands in a class of its own. A team of the best in the business have collaborated to reimagine one of Sydney’s finest Arts & Crafts style homes on a sprawling 1,208sqm overlooking the golf course. A labour of love, the newly recreated two-storey property showcases the design prowess of internationally celebrated interior designer Anna Spiro and the landscaping skills of Myles Baldwin to striking effect. After stripping back the home to its original foundations, the interiors and the grounds were restored and revived to get the balance just right.

Every detail has been carefully selected to ensure that this timeless beauty holds its own for another century. A Sully Classic French Lacanche range cooker is the hero of the kitchen, exposed Oregon beams were reclaimed from the Holsworthy Army Barracks, the beautiful handmade tiles were sourced from Morocco and raw brass Perrin & Rowe tapware maintains the ageless quality. The gardens were given as much attention with established trees craned in while the pool brings a splash of Hollywood style glamour and Endicott stone pavers create a journey through the grounds. Alexander and his team will be showing the home from 10.15am to 10.45am on Saturday.

If you’re wanting to build your dream home and are looking for the perfect block of land, just 450m down the road is 163 O’Sullivan Road, Bellevue Hill. The vacant 557sqm block has been cleared and is that holy grail for the developer, a raw near-level site with a frontage of over 12m overlooking Woollahra Golf Club. The possibilities are endless and the opportunity extraordinary.

This week the sales team secured 12 sales with an average price of $2.8m and listed 19 new properties.
