196A St George Crescent

There are waterfront homes - and then there are the very rare parcels where the land, the water and the home all work together effortlessly. Set on a 635sqm block, this custom-built residence offers something almost impossible to replicate today: true deep waterfront with a private registered pontoon and jetty, combined with direct, easy access from the home to the water's edge. No endless staircases, just a remarkable, usable waterfront setting that unfolds naturally from house to river. Built in 2000 for its original Italian owners, the home carries a quiet Tuscan character throughout - terracotta roof tiles, a sweeping marble staircase, gorgeous balconies and windows framing the ever-changing river backdrop. It isn't built for excess. It's built for atmosphere, connection and timeless living. The main living level welcomes you through grand double doors into warm, light-filled interiors where the living, dining and kitchen areas flow toward an intimate entertainer's balcony overlooking the Georges River. It's the sort of space designed for long lunches, quiet mornings and evenings listening to the river settle as the sun fades. This level also reveals one of the property's most practical and surprisingly rare features - a four-car garage with internal access, allowing you to drive straight into the home while still being only moments from the waterfront. A large storage room, salon/studio or utility space, and a powder room complete the floor. Upstairs, three bedrooms and home office are positioned to capture light and privacy. The master suite enjoys its own balcony overlooking the water, alongside a walk-in robe and ensuite, while the additional bedrooms open to a shared verandah. The lower ground level creates a flexible, almost self-contained retreat with a separate entrance. A designer bar and kitchenette anchor a relaxed living space, accompanied by a large bedroom opening onto a riverside verandah and garden, plus a study with second laundry. It's ideal for extended family, guests or simply creating a second entertaining zone with remarkable views. Beyond the home, the property reveals its true magic. Terraced gardens step gently toward the river where natural sandstone walls, pathways and seating areas create a series of peaceful outdoor spaces. A beautiful sandstone table and benches sit perfectly placed for long Sunday lunches and a mature gum tree that leans gracefully over the river - once home to rope swings used by the original family. At the water's edge, the private pontoon and jetty provide direct access for boating, kayaking or simply enjoying the quiet rhythm of the river. A kayak shed, sandstone retaining wall and wide river frontage complete a waterfront setting that is as practical as it is beautiful. With remote gated entry, no neighbour on one side, and uninterrupted views stretching up and down the river toward Picnic Point, the atmosphere here is something truly special. Kookaburras and cockatoos drift through the day, the river shifts with the light, and the eastern aspect welcomes gentle morning sun across the water. Waterfront homes in Sandy Point are tightly held. Properties with this combination of usable land, deep water access, registered jetty and effortless connection between house and river are almost never seen. For the discerning buyer, this is a home of character, rarity and quiet prestige - and a waterfront setting that is simply remarkable.
