The Wolseley Road Residence

There are few addresses in Australia that carry the weight of Wolseley Road, Point Piper — a street synonymous with wealth, privacy, and absolute waterfront supremacy. This exceptional five-bedroom residence claims its own private jetty on Shark Bay, placing the glittering expanse of Sydney Harbour literally at your doorstep.

Conceived by an award-winning Sydney studio with a brief to merge bold contemporary architecture with the sensory experience of harbour water, the house unfolds across a single, sweeping level that opens entirely to the north. The principal living pavilion is a remarkable volume of light: concrete, timber, and glass in perfect proportion, framed by a receding wall of bi-fold doors that invite the harbour breeze and the sounds of distant ferries into daily life.

Entertaining here is theatre. The kitchen occupies its own defined zone with a 5-metre island and direct service access, while the poolside terrace wraps the full harbour frontage — a natural stage for summer gatherings against the backdrop of Rose Bay and beyond. The pool itself sits at the water’s edge, its boundary blurring seamlessly with the harbour in the middle distance.

The principal suite is a retreat of exceptional calm: a room-sized wardrobe, a freestanding bath positioned to face the water, and a private terrace where mornings begin with the most magnificent view in the country. Four further guest suites are each elegantly appointed and discreetly positioned for complete privacy. This is Point Piper at its most singular.
