The residence was designed by a famous Sydney architect, William Hardy Wilson, and built in the 1930s. In traditional Italian villa style, it is sited on a grand north-facing terrace with two wings enclosing a large pergola and an enclosed loggia. The principal rooms all open onto the terrace for seamless indoor/outdoor living in a wonderful natural setting. All rooms have preserved their original style with high ceilings, grand windows and doorways and generous proportions creating a true European elegance.
