One of the most magnificent properties in the Illawarra with a breathtaking hilltop position in the friendly enclave of Stanwell Tops has entered the market.

The two-level beauty at 3 Southview Avenue is the ultimate in luxury with an elevator, spacious open-plan living, floor-to-ceiling windows & doors, terraces and flowering gardens.

A few metres from the historic Wishing Tree in a quiet cul-de-sac, this property is the manifestation of dreams: private, functional and with panoramic views sweeping from Bald Hill to the beach at Stanwell Park and Mt Mitchell.

The three-bedroom residence caters for discrete family living, visitors in a self-contained studio or working from home with a separate entrance to the office. Visitors will never leave once they have enjoyed the comforts of the studio, which offers a kitchenette, lounge area and striking views. The off-site employee will also enjoy the comfort of space with the home office measuring 4.3m x 4m allowing room for meetings, presentations and creativity. 

Held for six years, the owners renovated the home extensively, with new spotted gum polished floors, stunning bathrooms and motorised blinds in the  main bedroom.

The expansive kitchen with generous stone-top bench space and tortoise-shell splashback features a walk-in pantry, double oven and endless views. The cook will be part of the conversation as the kitchen space extends into living areas and socialising.

The southern wall of the main bedroom is all glass, framing the money shot of the Illawarra Escarpment and the Pacific Ocean. Waking up to this view will be an inspiring start to anyone’s day. Featuring a stylish bathroom with monsoon shower and glass wall, the main bedroom also has a cleverly designed walk-in wardrobe.

With high ceilings maximising the vistas, the home exudes a sense of space and openness. Ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning and a gas fireplace invite residents to adjust the dial for personalised comfort.

Sitting on a substantial 1044m2 block with lovely trees, bushes and hedges, the property also features plentiful storage in the large double garage.

Julie York, Principal of Raine & Horne Helensburgh, has been appointed exclusive marketing agent. “It is truly a majestic property,” she said. “Coming through the electric gates up the tree-lined driveway to the gorgeous views, it is quite unique.”

Julie said the location was within easy reach of the Royal National Park and the quirky seaside villages along Grand Pacific Drive, yet private. “It is tucked away behind towering gums and the only traffic is local,” she said. “Although the Wishing Tree is iconic, most people walk down the road to see it. 

“Perhaps a few potential buyers will walk around it three times via the 3D virtual tour before they come to inspect!”
