8/439 Alfred Street North

ACCESS ALFRED STREET NORTH VIA WINTER AVENUE Taking its place in landmark c.1955 building 'Montrose', designed by legendary architect and former Woollahra mayor Neville Gruzman - this prestige apartment combines a supremely quiet and sought-after harbour view setting with a style signature to stand the test of time. Among Sydney's earliest modernist examples, and one of the first to innovate with materials and features like aluminium window frames and glass louvres, the heritage-listed block feels wonderfully contemporary while faithfully retaining its original character. Number eight enjoys arguably its best views - completely unobstructed, grandly elevated and encompassing the Harbour Bridge, Opera House and dramatic city skyline beyond the shimmering waters of Sydney Harbour. Distinguished by its walls of glass and strong linear forms, the residence also boasts a generous sense of space enhanced by high ceilings throughout, wonderful natural light access, low-maintenance finishes, an internal laundry and a comfortable main bedroom facing the view. Meanwhile, extensive storage and undercover parking on title lend elements of practical appeal that, much like the aesthetic, will never go out of style. An important piece of Gruzman's legacy, this unique property offers both an opportunity of rare historic and architectural merit and an exquisite home for today's buyer. Its location is equally impressive, and surprisingly peaceful, benefiting from state-of-the-art sound protection on the newly completed Warringah Freeway upgrade and walkable proximity to Neutral Bay cafes and Big Bear shopping centre, beautiful St Leonards Park and playground, some of Australia's finest schools and Victoria Cross Metro station. • Iconic mid-century boutique apartment with own entrance • Tightly held complex - only 6 sales transactions since 1993 • Floor-to-ceiling glass walls with louvres and sliding doors • 180-degree south aspect capturing Harbour in all its glory • Views of Opera House, Sydney Tower and Pinchgut Island • Open-plan lounge and dining area, timber floors throughout • Modern kitchen with stone and stainless steel benchtops • Two bedrooms providing abundant built-in robe storage • Fully tiled bathroom with generous frameless glass shower • Separate internal laundry plus additional shared laundry facilities • Undercover parking space and shared storerooms • Walk-to-everywhere address just 800m to Neutral Bay village • Excellent soundproofing on newly completed freeway upgrade • Catchment for Neutral Bay Public School and Mosman High • Minutes to North Sydney Boys/Girls High, Shore and Wenona • 350m to St Leonards Park, 850m to Big Bear shops, 1km to Metro * All information contained herein is gathered from sources we consider to be reliable, however we cannot guarantee or give any warranty to the information provided.
