The renowned Australian actress Cate Blanchett is getting ready to move to the US, along with her family. This is why her incredible Sydney home is now on the market, for a cool $14.7 million. The beautiful waterfront home in Hunters Hill could easily be considered a palatial estate, offering awesome views of the Lane Cove River.
Built back in 1877 and nestled within Australia’s oldest garden suburb, this incredible sandstone-faced home is covering over 3,642 square of private land. The beautiful mansion, which is also called Bulwarra, underwent a three year renovation, resulting in a stylish double floor space and separate, self contained quarters under the swimming pool.
Nadine Alwill, of Alwill Design, and Dr. Stephen Lesiuk of Lesiuk Architects were in charge of redesigning this mansion, turning it into an Eco-friendly family retreat. With this in mind, the home’s clean lines and open layout set a relaxed ambiance with all the rooms being oriented to the north and facing the lovely gardens.
Featuring five bedrooms on the upper level, as well as a master bedroom which occupies an entire private wing, this property sounds more desirable by the second. The master bedroom comes with a skylit dressing room and Boffi-appointed en-suite with a freestanding bath, not to mention solid American Oak floors, a spacious cellar, generous attic storage, and secure parking for four cars.
That kind of money will also get you a pool pavilion, a championship tennis court, guesthouse, trampoline platform as well as a shared boatshed. Time to live like a star!
