4 Ripon Way

Rosebery NSW 2018

More private estate than urban residence, this extraordinary family residence brings a sense of theatre, scale and escapism to Rosebery's most exclusive street. Custom built by the current owner and set on a level 853sqm parcel, the pavilion-style home unfolds around enchanting due-north facing gardens and an internal parterre courtyard that draws light, air and greenery deep into the interiors. Every room engages with the landscape, while grand proportions and a richly layered fusion of European elegance and Havana eclecticism create a home of rare personality. Designed for both family life and grand-scale entertaining, the grounds feature a lush level lawn, heated 10m pool and a versatile cabana or guest cottage with sauna. Four large bedrooms and a home office or fifth bedroom cater perfectly to family life with a private parents' wing and a choice of living spaces. Below, a vast basement reveals another dimension with internal access to a multi-car lock-up garage, gym and wine cellar with tasting room. Ripon Way leads down to The Australian Golf Course in a quiet North Rosebery enclave, 500m to Turruwul Park and 600m to The Cannery's gourmet precinct. Just 6km from the CBD, this is an inner-city estate without equal.
