Timeless North Shore treasure fetches $6.5M in whirlwind sale

Following a whirlwind three-week campaign, the five-bedroom property at 36 Hastings Road, Warrawee was sold on 20 May by Ray White Upper North Shore sales agents Tim Fraser and Shannon Lowe- Griffiths.

“The extraordinary turnout reflects a highly active premium market looking for long-term lifestyle assets,” Mr Fraser said.

“This was the busiest open home we've seen this year, which is incredibly reassuring for the area and proof that buyers at this end of the market are actively pursuing good opportunities.

“With land becoming increasingly constrained across Sydney, a genuine family tennis court is now a very limited opportunity.

“This is the kind of property families hold onto for generations because it offers something incredibly difficult to replace - space, lifestyle, and the ability to create lasting family memories at home.”

Mr Lowe-Griffiths said the sale highlights the intense demand for rare, large-scale prestige properties on the North Shore, particularly those featuring private tennis courts, which represent a mere 0.53 per cent of houses sold across Sydney.

The sprawling 2,618sqm estate is famous for its 1917 sandstone veranda, original 1904 gardens, and a full-sized tennis court.
