Architect Vince Squillace-designed Balgowlah Heights trophy home listing

An architecturally designed three-level home in Balgowlah Heights is on the market for the first time, with a price guide of $2.5 million-plus.

Located on Abbott Street, its vendor and architect Vince Squillace originally lived in a bungalow on the 420-square-metre lot for five years to understand the site and how to minimise his carbon footprint.

“Over this period we became familiar with the site, the views, the sunlight, the prevailing winds and the potential of the site,” Squillace told Property Observer.

The family home features five bedrooms, three bathrooms and offers 270-degree panorama views of the ocean, harbour and city skyline through retractable glass walls.

The home also features Giallo Venus marble flooring throughout and a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired timber acoustic ceiling in the living room.

The standout feature is the sunlit rooftop deck with a marble wet bar and kitchenette.

Squillace says the deck offers views of the New Years Eve fireworks in Sydney Harbour, Rose Bay and Manly.

The property also includes a heated outdoor pool with a waterfall and a Japanese inspired front garden.

The property will go under the hammer on June 15 through Kingsley Looker of Cunninghams Property Balgowlah.

The median house price in Balgowlah Heights is $1,715,000, according to RP Data.
