8 Rue Pearce, Double Bay

Enjoy an idyllic harbourside lifestyle just footsteps to Double Bay Beach at this freestanding residence on a sunny north-facing corner block in a tightly held enclave with a short level walk to the heart of Double Bay village. Peacefully positioned in a picturesque jacaranda-lined cul-de-sac with Double Bay Marina at the end of the street, the property is offered for the first time since the home was built in the mid-1990s.

Wonderfully private and filled with sunshine, the four-bedroom and studio house is designed around a sun-splashed north-facing entertaining courtyard capturing an alfresco Mediterranean feel with its columned loggia/barbecue area that links the house with a double garage and a versatile upstairs studio (with study area and ensuite bathroom) opening to a sun terrace and balcony.

Immediately comfortable with scope for your own interior style, the house features spacious living and dining areas, granite kitchen (with island bench and walk-in pantry), master bedroom (with WIR, ensuite and sun terrace), 2 more upstairs bedrooms (with built-ins and terraces), 4th bedroom or home office (with built-ins, ensuite and private courtyard), 3 bathrooms, powder room, laundry and air-con. Enviable bayside location moments to the water, Steyne Park and Double Bay ferry wharf.
