94 Sugarloaf Crescent, Castlecrag

This home is designed by Ellen Woolley, an infinitely creative local architect and constructed by Master Builder Glen Thornton supported by two master artisans. Undoubtedly a labour of love and patience, resulting in the property being shortlisted for the Australian Institute of Architect's 2021 House of the Year Award.

Capturing northerly panoramas across the bushland canopy and toward Sugarloaf Creek and Middle Harbour beyond, the property exhibits a matchless commitment to its environment, topography, and the economies of solar passive design.

An intelligently conceived floorplan provides the flexibility to transform the rumpus and storage rooms into a fourth and ensuited bedroom. At the same time, further extensions include a self-contained studio with separate and private access with an active DA in place.

Sculpted into the sandstone escarpment, its unflinchingly contemporary aesthetic is complimented by the restoration and preservation of the rich ecosystem and native wildlife habitats which it looks over.

Concrete slab walls and floors combine with Blackbutt detailing and mixed hardwood floors to mimic the austerity of a contemporary art gallery. Furthermore, a professional gallery hanging system with discrete strip lighting completes this outstanding stylistic feature.

Flowing uninterrupted from street level, a green roof offers not only an outdoor entertaining area with superb outlook, but also insulation and thermal mass.

A Zen parents' retreat is a sanctuary of total relaxation offering generous floor space along with a sumptuous bathhouse featuring full slab marble floors and walls.

A tranquil piece of paradise moments to Castlecrag Village, Northbridge Plaza, CBD transport along with public and private schools, pre-schools, and childcare centres are on the doorstep. The convenience to the CBD with having the appearance of being hours away.
