A rare and opulent offering in the heart of Barangaroo.
A rare and opulent offering in the heart of Barangaroo.
If you’ve ever ventured around the newly established precinct of Barangaroo—one of Sydney’s most important waterfront renewal projects in decades—it will become immediately apparent just how extensive its re-development has been. What once was a gasworks site and container terminal is now a thriving oasis in central Sydney; a new waterside precinct with restaurants, bars and more that locals and tourists alike flock to year round.
Not surprisingly, it has also become a highly desirable place to live. Enter 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, Barangaroo —a three-bedroom, three-bathroom luxury apartment on Level 59 of Crown Sydney’s One Barangaroo locale.
Seldom do property listings like this become available, particularly so soon after its completion (the apartment is less than two years old). Providing all the luxurious amenities and service one can expect from such a location, this expansive home—which is just one of 79 residential apartments—is opulent in every sense of the word.
This residence represents the pinnacle of luxury living at 5903/1A Barangaroo Avenue, with panoramic views of both Darling Harbour and the Sydney Opera House. Featuring three spacious bedroom suites, each with adjoining ensuites, the residence is suited to both family members and their guests who can meet in the entertaining area where attention to detail, particularly in its design, is apparent. Materials include marble, artisan timber and leather interiors, chosen to complement designer lighting fixtures and a world-class chef’s kitchen with a bookend Calacatta benchtop and Sub Zero fridges.
Living in such surroundings calls for the hospitality and service Crown has come to be known for. Residents have access to six-star hospitality establishments with priority seating—as well as a residents-only bar and restaurant—a dedicated pool and private tennis court, valet service, and even room service should you desire.
Above all else, Barangaroo South is brimming with activity; once a neglected and inaccessible area of Sydney, now residents and visitors will benefit from the dynamic cultural, residential, business and retail hub that Barangaroo has become, yet is only moments from the city’s CBD precinct.
A win-win for young couples, downsizers, and families young and old who aspire to enjoy the best of city-living without compromising on a premium lifestyle.

Home to Sir Robert Menzies and Dame Pattie, this grand Melbourne estate is a piece of Australian political history.
It may be a well-worn cliche, but if these walls could talk there would be plenty of state secrets to share. The landmark residence at 8-10 Howard St, Kew was once the private residence of Sir Robert Menzies and Dame Pattie between 1929 and 1949, during the Prime Minster’s first term in the top job. He later held the role again from 1949 to 1966, making him Australia’s longest serving Prime Minister.
Historical land records indicate that the Howard St property was sold to Leonard Clinton Shaw, brother-in-law of Pattie Menzies. Robert and Patti then moved to live into The Lodge in Canberra.
The stately arts and crafts era home was built in the 1910s and has reportedly played host to a long list of dignitaries and VIP guests. As rumour has it, the drawing room of the Kew property is where Menzies crafted his iconic speeches and held many clandestine meetings.
Today the imposing five-bedroom residence, which sits on a vast 1874sq m land parcel in the coveted Studley Park precinct, has come to market through Marshall White agents James Tostevin and Chris Barrett with a price guide of $8.3 million to $8.9 million.
According to CoreLogic, the property last sold in 2018 for $7.75 million.
Beyond the expansive parklike grounds that to pay homage to celebrated Australian landscaper Edna Walling, the two-storey house is packed with meticulously maintained period features.
Showcasing the best of arts and crafts design influences, the home has a charming tuck-point brick façade, a tessellated tile veranda, coloured leadlight glass windows, dark stained wood panelling inside, as well as high decorative ceilings and cornices.
The large foyer divides the lower level into two distinct zones; big formal rooms and more casual family-friendly spaces. Built for entertaining on a grand scale, both the lounge and dining rooms rooms have original fireplaces and open out to either the undercover veranda or enclosed sunroom.
Also on the ground level, a spacious family room with yet another fireplace connects to an everyday meals area, and the contemporary kitchen comes complete with granite surfaces, a Paul Bocuse stove, an integrated Miele dishwasher, a walk-in pantry and wine cellar. A home office, or potential guest bedroom, plus a large laundry and two powder rooms round out the lower level floor plan.
Up via a majestic timber staircase, four big bedrooms have fireplaces and built-in wardrobes, while the primary suite is home to a palatial ensuite and dressing room. This accommodation level also houses two family bathrooms and a rear balcony that overlooks the grounds.
Outdoors there are multiple lifestyle features including a north/south tennis court with lighting, a unique rounds swimming pool and all-weather terraces.
Other features include an alarm, hydronic heating, a 60,000L underground tank, a garden shed, a remote double garage and additional off-street parking.
Located on the old Oakland Estate, the Menzies’ former home is close to popular eateries, Xavier College, St Vincents Private Hospital and golf courses.
Expressions of interest close on March 11, at 5pm for 8-10 Howard St, Kew. The home is listed with a price guide of $8.3 million to $8.9 million through agents James Tostevin and Chris Barrett of Marshall White.
