4 Bona Crescent, Lovett Bay, NSW 2105

Occupying one of the most prized waterfront positions on the western foreshores of Lovett Bay, this extraordinary Mediterranean–Moroccan inspired artist's residence is a property of rare beauty, atmosphere, and creative soul.

Set across a substantial double landholding on the point, the estate commands an almost 360-degree sweep of Pittwater views, capturing spectacular sunrises and the golden late-afternoon light that graces the western shoreline. Gentle terraced lawns descend toward the water's edge, opening onto a magnificent forty-foot waterfront terrace and private sandy beach below.

Long regarded as a haven for inspired creativity, the home possesses the warmth and romance of another era — a place where time slows and every room tells a story. Rich in texture and artistic character, the residence blends Mediterranean and Moroccan influences with the timeless charm of a classic Pittwater retreat. For more than two decades, the home itself functioned as the artist's principal working studio, with the larger freestanding studio only later constructed in 1991 following DA approval — a history that remains deeply embedded within the property's unique design and atmosphere.

The kitchen evokes a true “yesteryear” atmosphere, centred around a traditional wood stove and filled with warmth, intimacy, and rustic appeal — a space that feels both grounding and deeply welcoming. A second fireplace within the living room/study/bedroom further enhances the home's ambience, creating a retreat-like atmosphere ideal for quiet evenings, reading, or creative reflection. The bathrooms are distinctive and character-filled, inspired by classic marine design.

Designed with artists, entertaining, and seasonal living in mind, the gardens are orientated to embrace the changing beauty of all four seasons. Landscaped grounds unfold through four separate courtyards, each creating intimate outdoor “rooms” for entertaining, quiet reflection, or long lunches beneath the trees throughout the year.

A broad waterfront verandah overlooks the bay, while the home's unconventional and highly flexible layout creates a series of deeply private spaces and retreat areas rarely found in traditional residences. The lower level in particular has been thoughtfully designed to provide separation, creativity, and sanctuary — perfectly suited to artistic living, visiting guests, or multigenerational accommodation.

Accommodation is arranged across multiple levels and includes:

* Two bedrooms within the main residence serviced by one bathroom
* An upper-level bedroom adjoining the lounge
* A substantial lower-level master retreat featuring two double beds, thoughtfully designed to accommodate differing creative rhythms and nocturnal pursuits without disturbance
* Flexible lower-level living, study, and sleeping zones offering private retreat spaces and studio-style versatility
* A split-level lounge creating multiple intimate living environments
* A large freestanding studio/bedroom retreat with bathroom, positioned on the second block
* Established landscaped grounds and terraced gardens

For boating enthusiasts, the property offers a rare collection of waterfront facilities including a private sandy beach, slipway, deep-water dry dock for a commuter boat, and direct access to Hall's Wharf ferry service — a remarkable combination of seclusion and convenience unique to Pittwater living.

There is also future potential to subdivide Lots 17 and 18, subject to the relevant approvals.
