70 Burns Road, Wahroonga

A landmark residence in one of Sydney's best addresses, this grand Georgian Estate was built by Fred Higgins for Dr HR Arnott of the famous biscuit family back in 1941. Set on a remarkable three lots spanning approx. 5,465sqm of magnificent park-like level grounds, it occupies an exceptional blue ribbon parcel within arguably one of the upper North Shore's finest tree-lined streets. Designed by renowned architect William Richardson, beyond a gated entry and flagged sandstone pathways, the home combines a timeless elegance with stately proportions and meticulous craftsmanship defined by its era.

Double brick construction, framed by a full size north/south tennis court, clubhouse pavilion, sparkling in-ground pool and separate spa, it offers all the luxuries one expects. Showcasing a stunning array of living zones including three kitchens, banquet sized dining and private sitting room with wet bar, fireplace and wine cellar, there's also four super-sized bedrooms, private guest quarters and a separate office space that could be re-configured to additional parking.
