Destined to create an immediate sense of connection for a large family is this immaculate, Hamptons-inspired waterfront residence located in the exclusive 'Riviera Estate' of Sorrento.

Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, anticipation builds as you wander past the champion-size tennis court and sparkling pool through a shady arbour to where an arched double doorway invites you to enter.

Inside, a soaring triple-height foyer is an apt introduction to this home's grand sense of space in which timeless design elements, such as ironbark timber flooring and decorative cornicing mix with a sophisticated Hamptons aesthetic for elevated family living.

A striking oversized Calcutta marble island lies at the heart of bright, airy and open living spaces where family and friends can gather for intimate meals or large-scale entertaining. Bifold doors peel back for uninterrupted views through the house, so you can make the most of water views in one direction while keeping an eye on children playing in the pool in the other.

Space and storage are in abundance throughout this comfortable and warm home which offers six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a cinema room, executive study, and multiple living rooms. A guest suite with ensuite on the ground floor has access to a private terrace and is an ideal set-up for multigenerational living, or teenagers seeking space of their own.

Held by the same family for over 19 years, the home has benefitted from two major renovations and has been the setting for unforgettable memories.
