Another Vaucluse home with ‘wow’ factor hits market with $15m guide

Yet another stunning Vaucluse home has hit the market as momentum builds in Sydney’s prestige market ahead of Easter.

This time it’s the brand new north-facing home at 37 Wentworth Rd owned by Julian Babarczy, the Regal Funds Management portfolio manager, and his wife, Olivia, who owns interior design business The Interior Collective.

The six-bedroom, seven-bathroom palatial residence with a three-car garage is a conjunction listing with Ray White Double Bay principal Elliott Placks and the managing director of Sotheby’s International, Michael Pallier. It goes to auction just ahead of Easter — on April 4.

The extraordinary home, with the interiors done by Olivia Babarczy, sits on a 930 sqm block above the sweeping hilltops of Vaucluse and Sydney Harbour.

“In approaching the interior style of the house, it was important to us to be respectful of its Spanish Mission heritage, while creating a timeless space that evokes a sense of wellbeing,” Mrs Babarczy said.

The residence offers formal and casual living zones flowing to sunny terraces.

There’s a kitchen with a Calacatta marble island bench and European appliances.

And other highlights are the lift, the landscaped lawn around the swimming pool, the nine-metre wall of cascading greenery in the garden and the rooftop with 360-degree views.

The prestigious double-digit eastern suburbs listings include a range of others reported exclusively by the Wentworth Courier over the past week.

These include the Vaucluse mansion of former Westpac CEO Brian Hartzer at 20 Ray Ave, which has a $20 million guide with Brad Pillinger of Pillinger and the massive Rose Bay home of property developer Robert Burger at 7 Fernleigh Gardens which has hopes “in the teens” through Bart Doff and Steven Zoellner of Laing and Simmons Double Bay.

Then there’s lawyer William Conley’s incredibly beautiful home at 190 Queen St, Woollahra, which has a guide of $11 million to $12 million through Ben Collier of The Agency.

And Collier also has the reinvented home of interior designer, Kathryn Haynes, at 36 Martin Rd, Centennial Park, which has a $10 million guide.
