A rare opportunity to acquire one of Morningside's most distinguished properties — an elevated 2,708 m² estate with claimed sea views and the scale to accommodate a landmark coastal residence or luxury development.

The existing double-storey home features a steeply pitched dark-tiled roof, horizontal board cladding, large aluminium-framed windows, and a covered rear patio enclosed by a security gate. The grounds are generous: a large cleared rear garden area (currently bare red earth), a broad interlock-paved forecourt with capacity for multiple vehicles, and terraced planting beds along one boundary that currently host an established vegetable garden. A swimming pool footprint is visible at the rear, enclosed by a white picket fence surround, suggesting reinstatement is possible.

Internally, the home is mid-renovation. The upper-level reception room visible in the images shows polished large-format grey marble-look porcelain tiles, a striking black feature wall with geometric panelling, a white classical fireplace surround with built-in arched shelving alcove, an air-conditioning unit, and a picture window framing green treetop views. Finishes are partially complete, presenting an opportunity to specify the remaining interior to personal taste.

The room configuration comprises six bedrooms and five bathrooms across two storeys, with seven garage bays — ideal for multi-generational living or a prestige vehicle collection. The property is mid-renovation and is offered as a blank canvas: complete the existing home as a grand coastal residence, or demolish and build a bespoke new-build or collection of high-end apartments subject to municipal approvals.

Mitchell Park and its zoo are within approximately 360 m, Morningside Primary School within 430 m, and an Engen convenience centre with Woolworths Foodstop is a mere 65 m away — placing everyday amenities right at the door.
