Star property – 2035 Pittwater Rd, Bayview.

When the boat-studded backdrop of Pittwater is right on a property’s doorstep, it makes perfect design sense to create a residence with walls of windows and sweeping outdoor spaces.

Formerly used as a set for film and television productions, this palatial Bayview property has also featured in a volume of World’s Most Glamorous Homes magazine after a recent renovation with interiors by Ionna Lennox.

Big hopes for house with mystery lips outside

Purpose-built to enjoy all four seasons, the living level has an open plan layout with banks of bi-fold doors that peal back to reveal a vast terrace and a 10m in-ground pool framed by manicured hedges and a low-maintenance garden.

“This is a very substantial home but at the same time it’s very private too, which in this location is very important,” said David Edwards of LJ Hooker Palm Beach.

“It has a wonderful northerly aspect which attracts year-long sunshine.”

This living level of the home includes a central lounge room warmed by a Jetmaster fireplace, an adjoining dining space for when the alfresco area doesn’t suffice, a multipurpose family room and a modern marble and Miele kitchen.

Modern stunner – 2035 Pittwater Rd, Bayview.

In addition to a wide breakfast bar for casual meal times, the kitchen also has a servery bench – an ideal spot for guests to enjoy cocktail hour by the pool. Perfectly set up for all weather entertaining, a poolside outdoor kitchen covers all bases for glamorous backyard barbecues.

Visitors can also make the most of a self-contained wing to the left of the entry foyer, which currently houses a full home gym but thanks to a kitchenette and ensuite could be a guest suite, au pair quarters or even a short term accommodation possibility.

The view.

Upstairs, and the bedroom level has been designed so the main suite benefits from its own private position tucked away from the rest.

The parents’ retreat features a spacious sleeping area that opens onto a covered balcony, a grand ensuite with freestanding tub and a large dressing room.

A grand first floor living space also opens onto the balcony while four more bedrooms each have built-in wardrobes and share two dual-access ensuites.

The front view.

Packed with contemporary features, the home also includes smart wiring throughout, ducted climate control, double glazed windows, surround sound, a powder room, plus a six-car garage with an additional rumpus room area.

Hidden away from Pittwater Rd behind security gates, the grand home is removed from the main thoroughfare, but is still close enough to the water’s edge to stroll down to the local yacht club or marina. St Luke’s Grammar School is just 550m away while Pittwater High School and the conveniences of Mona Vale are just down the road.
