Seclusion and sophistication without leaving the city

Exclusivity is one of those terms that gets thrown around a lot. In real estate circles, often it’s a case of style over substance, with an emphasis on expensive finishes and high security.

This property understands exclusivity on a whole other level. Just one of 55 properties in the Pittwater enclave of Cottage Point, this waterfront home set in leafy surrounds with Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park as a backdrop is a million miles from care.

Set over three levels, the architect-designed home has four bedrooms on the lower ground floor, including a master suite with spacious walk-in robe that leads into a large ensuite. The master suite enjoys views to the water and, along with the second bedroom, leads directly onto a covered terrace with spa. Two more bathrooms service the additional bedrooms on this level, while a large family room offers space as a play area or teen hang out.

Upstairs, the split level main living area includes the kitchen, dining and lounge room, which leads on to a generous covered alfresco space ideal for entertaining while taking in the expansive water views. Beautifully presented with tiled floors and white walls, the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces is seamless, with stacker doors and highlight windows offering direct connection with the natural environment. For those reluctant to leave the sanctuary of the property to commute, there’s a spacious crow’s nest style study or home office on the top floor, which could also serve as a fifth bedroom.

Those seeking to access the water can take the meandering option via a walk along the garden path to the studio and boat house, which is equipped with a kitchen, bathroom and loft space. This leads to a private jetty designed for watercraft or just dangling toes in the water. When it’s time to head back to the house, the inclinator makes the journey a little less arduous.

There’s room for four cars on site, with garaging for two and carport space for another two. Cottage Point Inn and the Kiosk are within walking distance.

It doesn’t get much more exclusive than that.

Citizen Kanebridge, one of Australia’s premier private members’ clubs, will open a new chapter in Sydney’s fast-growing Norwest corridor, expanding its physical footprint to meet its property, finance and investment membership base where they live and work.

The club’s primary premises remains the Royal Automobile Club of Australia on Macquarie Street in the Sydney CBD — one of Australia’s most distinguished institutions — where Citizen Kanebridge members continue to enjoy full access to its storied facilities at the heart of the city.

The new Norwest chapter, to be known as Citizen Kanebridge Norwest, will be developed in partnership with Momento Hospitality, with the venue’s top floor facility serving as the primary location for key events.

Norwest has emerged as one of Sydney’s fastest-growing commercial and residential corridors, increasingly home to the developers, financiers and investors at the heart of the Citizen Kanebridge community. The move places the club at the centre of the growth story many of its members are most engaged in.

“Norwest is where the city is moving,” said Ruba Jaajaa, COO of Kanebridge Media. “For a club built around property, finance and investment conversations, it’s simply the right place to be.”

For Jaajaa, the expansion carries a personal resonance as much as a strategic one.

“There is also a wonderful sense of coming full circle in bringing Citizen Kanebridge to Norwest,” she said. “More than 20 years ago, this is where the foundations of the Kanebridge Group were first developed. Returning to the area is a warm opportunity to reconnect with the enduring relationships, trusted conversations and community that have been part of the Kanebridge story since 1999.”

Membership will be offered as a dedicated tier, the Citizen Kanebridge Norwest Individual Membership, including monthly dining credits at Momento Hospitality venues and access to the Sonato global reciprocal club network, spanning more than 250 private clubs worldwide. Members will also receive digital subscriptions to Kanebridge Quarterly, Robb Report Australia & New Zealand, and The Wall Street Journal.

Further details on the launch event calendar, membership applications and transition arrangements will be announced soon.
