Reflecting the elite standards of quality and design expected of a signature Davies Henderson home, this utterly captivating Parisian inspired 5-bedroom residence’s exceptional fusion of formal and relaxed spaces curates a peerless modern family lifestyle of luxury, elegance and style.

Behind custom made wrought iron gates, double oak doors reveal a light-filled reception hall featuring European oak Florentine parquetry floors, boiserie panels and 3.5m ceilings. The oak floors continue through a refined executive study and a magnificent formal sitting and dining room with a gas log fire, bespoke joinery and French doors to the side garden. A haven of natural light, the expansive open plan living and dining room is served by a sublime Calacatta marble kitchen appointed with Miele appliances and a butler’s pantry. A series of French doors connect the living area with the beautiful, paved north-facing garden, picturesque solar-heated pool and water feature.

One of these bedrooms has a full length window seat offering spectacular uninterrupted city views and a “front row seat” to the New Year’s Eve fireworks. A versatile media room/retreat and wine cellar are on the basement level alongside 3 car-spaces.
