Maroubra NSW 2035

Be transported to the Hollywood Hills in this sprawling European-style mansion that fuses the elegance of classical design with the signature style of early 20th century Spanish Revival architecture. Designed by George Surtees, one of Australia's most important post WW2 European designers, the three-storey residence is set amid landscaped grounds on an incredibly private 732sqm approx. Built by a master builder for a master builder, the quality of this estate-like residence is palpable with every detail custom crafted from the wide arches and grand sweeping staircase to the exquisite joinery and Art Deco flourishes. A 20m+ long driveway affords an impressive sense of arrival while a Great Gatsby style marble staircase with an Italian ballroom-chandelier exudes 1930s Hollywood glamour. Built and finished without compromise, the three-storey home's villa like layout features multiple living areas with wide French doors opening to sandstone terraces and a poolside entertainer's haven with a solar heated saltwater pool and pizza oven. Featuring parking for five cars and ducted air for year-round comfort, this is a true one-of-a-kind on the cusp of South Coogee just 1km to the north end of Maroubra Beach.
