Pymble, NSW
This 1 acre secluded residential property is set amidst the leafy Upper North Shore, accessed via a long driveway and flanked on both sides by manicured Buxus hedging, Agapanthus and Lily Pilly. The street frontage features stone walling with Clivea planted at the base, offsetting the existing stately mature trees.
The original house was built in the 1930’s and although extensively added to and updated, the house and gardens were designed to retain and reflect the classical ambience of the era.
The key features are the pool area, the summer house and tennis court colonnades and 3 water features. Wisteria planted on the summer house pergola makes a spectacular show in spring. Osmanthus was chosen to add perfume to the air and Heeria was planted to scramble under the Osmanthus adding a vibrant show of hot pink. Lavender around the tennis court creates a colourful informal windswept effect, whilst Citrus trees provide contrasting colour and privacy to the tennis court area.
The house and gardens are extensively lit at night with low voltage lighting, highlighting the many features and Grecian sculptures set amidst the gardens.
