5 Russell Street, Vaucluse NSW

Perfectly positioned on a rare level 766sqm parcel just steps from Kutti Beach and the heart of Watsons Bay, Mennock is an exquisite transformation of a former ferry master's cottage into a timeless architectural showpiece. Reimagined by acclaimed architect Michael Suttor, with sophisticated interiors by Marco Meneguzzi and gardens by Parterre, the residence blends classical proportions with contemporary luxury to create a true family sanctuary.

Designed for effortless indoor/outdoor living and entertaining, the interiors unfold with openness and grace. Expansive formal and casual zones flow together, defined by high ceilings, marble and striking French stone fireplaces as well as a chef's kitchen with butler's pantry.

Glass doors gently coax you outside to a private oasis of enchanting gardens - a level lawn, sun-drenched sandstone terrace and heated mosaic pool with cascading fountain create a serene botanical sanctuary, ideal for both family life and unforgettable gatherings.

Upstairs, the indulgent master suite spans the entire level with a marble ensuite, huge walk-in dressing room (or fifth bedroom), study retreat and balcony framing harbour views. Three further bedrooms feature bespoke cabinetry, alongside two contemporary bathrooms, cellar storage and lock-up garage.

From this exclusive harbourside setting, the best of Sydney becomes your daily community. Stroll metres to Kutti Beach, Camp Cove or Parsley Bay for swims, coastal walks or afternoons in the sun. Wander to Watsons Bay ferry for direct city access, with Vaucluse village and prestigious schools close by.
