Description: 10 Poole Street, Longueville is many things, a grand estate, a private resort, a piece of Sydney's architectural legacy, yet when you are here, it resolves into one clear idea, a world class family home set directly on the shores of Sydney Harbour. Its power lies in the combination of elements that almost never coexist on one address. The land itself is extraordinary, an expansive 4,400+ square metre waterfront holding that stretches from its quiet street frontage to a private harbour playground complete with pool, cabana, jetty, landing steps and boathouse. It is a true estate in the old sense of the word, generous, secluded, and deeply connected to the water. Anchoring the property is the original 1938 antebellum style homestead, held by only two families in nearly nine decades. Its sense of permanence and belonging became the foundation for a remarkable architectural evolution led by James Gross, one of Australia's most acclaimed residential architects. The result is a seamless dialogue between heritage and modernity, the historic home preserved with reverence, and a breathtaking contemporary wing introduced with confidence and restraint. Linked by a glass walkway, the new residence unfolds across more than 2,000 square metres of beautifully resolved space. Curved walls soften the scale, American oak brings warmth and craftsmanship, and vast panes of glass dissolve the boundary between interior and landscape. Every major room frames a different aspect of the estate, the Japanese inspired gardens, the private harbour frontage, and beyond them, the Sydney skyline rising like a living artwork. Despite its openness to the water and the city, the estate is profoundly private. It functions as its own self contained world, designed to host life at every scale. The main residence offers five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, an exceptional central kitchen, and a series of intimate and expansive living spaces. A dedicated office wing with private access supports serious work, separate guest quarters accommodate extended family, visitors or staff with ease. The amenity is exceptional, a harbourfront gym, a second full length lap pool, a squash court, a secret library, a full caterer's kitchen, an impressive cellar, and countless thoughtful inclusions that speak to a home created to welcome, gather and celebrate. Its owners say their greatest joy has been that their children's friends grew up here because everyone always wanted to be here. That sentiment captures the essence of the property, a place that elevates daily life, draws people together, and becomes the backdrop to a family's most important memories. There are very few estates on Sydney Harbour that can match its scale, its architectural pedigree, its privacy, or the calibre of life it offers. 10 Poole Street is not simply a home, it is a once in a generation harbour domain, created for those who understand the rarity of true waterfront grandeur.
