Estate agent pioneer's Belrose home for October auction

The north facing bushland Belrose home of the late water polo Olympian Doug Laing, the 60 year real estate veteran, sits high above the escarpment of Garigal National Park with glimpses of water. 

His 1972 house was designed by architect Nino Sydney for the family who, having spent much their early days in Bondi, introduced a stepped terrace, not unlike the steps at Bondi Beach.

It flows down to the large pool and an enormous lawn at the 3640 sqm property. 

The split level, five bedroom Morgan Road home goes to October 24 auction through his daughter, Vicki Laing who continues the estate agency.
