A rare expression of scale, heritage, and contemporary luxury, ‘Marika’ stands as one of Hunters Hill’s most distinguished residences. Set on 2472sqm of manicured grounds, the stately c1904 estate blends exquisite period craftsmanship with considered modern updates, evoking the romance of a grand country retreat within moments of some of Sydney’s postcard waterfronts.

Beyond its private, leafy surrounds, a herringbone-paved driveway winds past sandstone walls and immaculate gardens, revealing a residence of enduring elegance. A modern pavilion-style extension seamlessly integrates open-plan living, a sophisticated kitchen, and a master retreat, complementing the home’s timeless aesthetic.

BresicWhitney selling agent Nicholas McEvoy describes the home as a balance of refined grandeur and contemporary design.

“This is an estate of remarkable scale and beauty, where heritage meets an inspired modern sensibility. The floodlit tennis court, dramatic lighting, and ultra-private grounds create an unforgettable setting that caters to intimate moments as well as grand-scale entertaining.”

Bathed in northeast light, the residence unfolds around a spectacular pool terrace with a dedicated outdoor entertaining pavilion, offering a year-round sanctuary for hosting, relaxation, and family living.

Dual master suites accommodate a range of household dynamics, while soaring ceilings, wraparound balconies, and a grand entry foyer enhance the home’s innate sense of seclusion. Thoughtful inclusions – a study/library, media lounge, bespoke bar, and dedicated workspaces – cement the home’s fundamental blend of function and luxury.

A triple lock-up garage provides internal access via the butler’s pantry, seamlessly integrating everyday practicality into the home’s refined atmosphere. Hidden modern embellishments, including air-conditioning, solar panels with battery storage, and vast roof storage, ensure comfort and sustainability.

Positioned near leading schools such as St Joseph’s College and Villa Maria Primary, with easy access to Boronia Park village and express CBD transport, this is an estate of extraordinary distinction.

“Opportunities of this calibre are exceptionally rare,” Nicholas notes. “A sanctuary with these proportions, so close to the harbour and city, is truly one of a kind.”
