Loved for generations, Cremorne Point's most captivating Federation manor for sale

Built in 1912, 'Kebbatty', at 129 Milson Road, Cremorne Point is one of the original homes on Cremorne Point.

The jaw-dropping property is being marketed by Ray White Lower North Shore agent Ross Nesdale and goes to auction on 5 March, with an $8 million price guide.

Two years after purchasing the property, the Dommetts embarked on a substantial renovation transforming the home while honouring everything that made it special.

Mr Dommett said an entire upper storey was added, creating a parent’s retreat that sits above the treetops and captures sweeping panoramas across Sydney Harbour to the bridge and Opera House.

For Mr Dommett, who grew up in Queensland, the original foundations told him everything he needed to know.

"Growing up in Queensland, you don't see much sandstone," Mr Dommett said.

“When I saw it, I saw stability. I saw something that would last.”

Now, after 32 years and a lifetime of memories, the Dommetts are downsizing and the home they transformed is ready for its next chapter.

The Dommetts said the home would resonate with a larger extended family looking for space to grow into, an expat family returning to Australia in search of something enduring, or a builder who can see the significant further potential the property still holds.

The 337sqm floorplan spreads across three levels, its ornate plaster ceilings, timber floors, bay windows and marble framed fireplaces have been preserved through the renovation, Mr Dommett said.

Standout features of the property include the mosaic tiled swimming pool with views to the Harbour Bridge and below the main living level, a flexible lower level is configured as a self contained guest suite with its own ensuite.

There is also a workshop, cellar and subfloor storage.
