Recreated from the ground up with interiors by Parker Studio, the 5.7m-wide residence holds the prized north-east corner of a distinguished pair in the historic Waterview Estate. Behind its two-storey facade, the artfully composed design unfolds across four levels revealing five bedrooms including a self-contained accommodation that can function independently or connect with the main residence.
