The Queen Anne Federation house, built around 1910, has undergone a significant transformation through collaborations with prestigious interior designers Handelsmann + Khaw and previously with Howard Tanner of TKD Architects, who added a contemporary glass extension to the rear of the property.
According to the listing, the property is set on a level 1106-square-metre block near Clifton Gardens, the five-bedroom residence features heated limestone flooring, Calacatta Monet marble in the main bathroom, and a chef’s kitchen equipped with a Lacanche Beaune French cooker with double oven.
The property’s luxury amenities extend outdoors with a 13-metre heated swimming pool and spa, complemented by professional Dangar Barin Smith landscaping, creating an oasis of elegance and comfort.
Ms Yorston, who established Bec + Bridge more than two decades ago with her business partner Becky Cooper, has seen their designs worn by women worldwide, cementing the label as one of Australia’s most successful fashion brands.
The SMH reported the property, which was featured in Vogue Living magazine, represents a significant upgrade in the designer’s real estate portfolio.
Ms Yorston purchased the home in 2022 for $14.05 million in the name of her husband, Reverend Ed Yorston, who serves as assistant chaplain at The King’s School.
The couple previously owned another Federation house in Mosman, which they sold for $6.85 million in 2023, demonstrating their upward trajectory in the premium property market.
The current property includes a 500-bottle wine cellar among its many luxury features, highlighting the attention to detail and sophisticated lifestyle the property offers to potential buyers.
Ray White Lower North Shore agent Geoff Smith is handling the sale, with the property scheduled for auction on September 18.
