Perched on an elevated position, this three-level, 7-bedroom, 6-bathroom, 5-car bedroom home in Sydney’s Castle Hill captures district views of the famously leafy locale and hopes to break the current suburb record when it goes to auction on December 18.

Located in one of the suburbs most prestigious streets comes a magnificent double-brick masterpiece offering modern grandeur and endless luxury across an impressive 2000sqm block.

Within the home sees grand proportions throughout, further emphasised by the broad tiles used underfoot and the elegant bulkhead detailing above. These modern details combine with the wrought iron staircase to lift the eye and create a sense of space and drama in the home’s foyer.

Beyond the entrance, replete with chandeliers, the home sees palatial formal living and dining areas alongside an open plan living and dining space.

It’s here that the gourmet kitchen, replete with Miele and Smeg appliances, forms the focal point of the home. The ground level sees a secondary kitchen – that acts as a butler’s pantry – complete with a full suite of appliances.

Elsewhere, the home boasts a billiards room, study and home cinema.

Upstairs sees the accommodation, including the 7.4 x 7.9-metre master bedroom, complete with a walk-in-robe and ensuite – the latter adorned with marble details.

The remaining bedrooms all see walk-in robes or built-in robes as well as balcony access for each room.

Outside, the home is privy to a large entertaining area with travertine tiling.

Here, one finds the impressive in-ground pool and shaded lounging area alongside the floodlit championship-sized tennis court and basketball court, making the home ideal for entertaining.

The lower ground level plays host to the five-car garage and guest accommodation, complete with bathroom, kitchenette and separate entrance.

The home is listed with Merc Real Estate’s Mechlenne Douaihy (+61 434 548 435) with an auction set for December 18. Price guide $5.8 million; mercrealestate.com.au
