'CARMEL', Edgecliff NSW

A historic estate of rare distinction in the heart of Sydney's east, 'Carmel' is a magnificent Mediterranean-style property on an approx. 1,300sqm north facing landholding in an exclusive enclave at the edge of cosmopolitan Double Bay.

Originally designed by F. Glynn Gilling in 1935 for prominent stockbroker Stanley Utz, this stately property has enjoyed a rich pedigree, home to a select group of society leaders and now restored with every element meticulously considered to create a world-class property of international appeal.

A grand entrance foyer, palatial proportions and soaring ceilings evoke a sense of old-world Hollywood glamour and timeless elegance, with a vast series of magnificent formal and informal areas extending to tumbled Limestone terraces enjoying breath-taking 180-degree views over Sydney Harbour.

A state-of-the-art Calacatta marble kitchen features an expansive Jarrah island bench as well as a chef's Lacanche range cooker and premium Miele gas appliances, while interiors spill out to an alfresco entertainers' pavilion and an exquisite landscaped backyard and lush level lawn with a sparkling mosaic-tiled swimming pool as the centrepiece.

With a sweeping driveway and gated cobblestone forecourt affording an impressive sense of arrival, this world-class family estate enjoys a stone-framed entry with lift access, four-car garaging and abundant visitor parking.

The property is exceptionally positioned within close proximity to esteemed schools, private harbour beaches, Edgecliff Station and Queen Street village.
