62 The Bulwark, Castlecrag NSW 2068

Combining award-winning architecture, exceptional privacy, sophisticated entertaining spaces and panoramic Middle Harbour views, this is a rare opportunity to secure a landmark contemporary home in one of Sydney's most sought-after Lower North Shore suburbs. Set amid the natural beauty of bushland lining Sailors Bay, occupying a substantial 1000sqm landholding with garden pathways leading down to the foreshore. Designed and comprehensively rebuilt by acclaimed Stanic Harding Architects, the striking contemporary residence has been celebrated in magazines and coffee table books for its innovative design, sophisticated interiors and enduring connection to its natural setting. A defining feature is the towering four-metre-high north-facing window, which floods the interiors with natural light while maintaining privacy and seclusion. Framed by lush greenery, views extend across Sailors Bay and through Middle Harbour, creating a remarkable sense of connection between the home and its picturesque harbourside surroundings. Designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living, stacker doors retract from the living areas to a series of terraces, courtyards and viewing decks. The primary living room features a smokeless Cheminees Philippe fireplace, built-in custom corner lounge, window-seat storage and spectacular outlooks, while the dining area opens directly outdoors to embrace the water views. A courtyard adjoining the living and kitchen areas provides a private setting for entertaining. The sophisticated kitchen is tailored to both family living and entertaining, with a generous 4.4m stainless-steel benchtop, five-burner gas cooktop, 900mm Smeg oven and Miele dishwasher. A combined butler's pantry and storeroom provides a third sink, wine storage and extensive cabinetry. Four bedrooms are peacefully immersed in the surrounding bushland, with every bedroom enjoying a natural outlook. The master suite occupies the living level and features floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-through dressing room, laundry chute and skylit ensuite with shower and surround sound. The second bedroom is individually air-conditioned with custom shelving and offers flexibility as a home office or rumpus room. Two additional bedrooms are positioned on the lower level and share a beautifully appointed bathroom featuring a Japanese-inspired window-level bath, designed to create the sensation of bathing within the bush, together with a deluge shower and electric toilet seat. A lower-level floating timber platform opens directly towards the surrounding landscape. A spectacular 42sqm rooftop terrace crowns the home, providing sweeping 180-degree views across Middle Harbour to The Spit and creating an exceptional private entertaining space. Additional outdoor features include an entry courtyard with built-in BBQ and fountain, multiple terraces and landscaped pathways connecting the home with its natural surrounds and the Sailors Bay foreshore. Privately concealed from the street, the residence is approached via a private driveway leading to an automated lock-up garage with workbench, an additional parking bay and a 35A three-phase socket for EV charging. Solar panels, water filtration, irrigation, back-to-base alarm, smart lighting, CAT5 cabling and whole-house surround sound further enhance the home's technology, sustainability and functionality, while concealed under-stair storage maximises practicality. Castlecrag offers a tranquil harbourside lifestyle with village shops, transport and neighbouring Northbridge, Middle Cove and Willoughby close by, while North Sydney, Chatswood and Sydney CBD are readily accessible.
