Palatial Homes & Gardens - Historic Aspects

Located on Sydney's North Shore - KILLARA, Arnold Street “The Wicker”, c1913, is a landmark residence nestled amidst inspiring Peter Fudge designed gardens. Restored to meticulous standards and flowing over three impressively proportioned levels, providing an enviable lifestyle of understated elegance.

I love the gardening style of Peter Fudge, his passion for strong simple lines and appreciation for the surrounding architecture is what makes his designs in-line with balance, rhythm and unity. I adore the pre-war architecture, the elegance and sheer regality that this home and surrounding gardens portrays. The estate creates a graceful and formidable atmosphere, where Palatial Living is at it's best!

I love the grandeur & the elegant simplicity of this home, not to mention the crazy sandstone paving around the azure pool - almost modern retro...

The use of timber through out the home - the french doors, the staircase, & flooring adds a natural sophisticated warmth and compliments the large scale rooms - in height and length.The home which is located on the North Shore in TURRAMURRA , this iinspirational Georgian manor 'Ku-ring-gai' is magnificently set among French provincial style parterre gardens on almost 3000sqm of estate-like grounds. Classical glamour meets the finest contemporary finishes and impressive resort facilities, with Northerly aspects flowing to an Annie Wilkes inspired parterre gardens.
