Rockridge

First built as a gentleman’s residence, Rockridge is an original 1940’s Palm Beach home of the romantic old school, perfect for if you’re feeling nostalgic. This timber and stone beach house exudes character, charm and desirability.

The house’s unique features include beautifully crafted joinery, original cabinetry, quirky collectables and a stone fireplace. There are four bedrooms, sleeping a total of 8 guests. But modern life has its creature comforts and everything at Rockridge is taken care of. A new, fully equipped marble kitchen, swimming pool, spa and in-built gas barbecue mean you can surround yourself with luxury. White-washed walls and floors make for a relaxed and unmistakably beachy ambience. The light-filled, open-plan living, dining and sun rooms enjoy a sunny vantage.

The elevation of the house commands unobstructed and expansive knockout views looking over to the famous Barrenjoey Lighthouse, Pittwater, Whale Beach and the ocean beyond. The sandstone and timber decking overlooks a garden surrounded by an acre of Australian bush and tropical palms. Easy walking access to the beach is directly across the road, where the original steps lead to the popular southern end of the beach with its ocean pool. As there are no immediate neighbours at Rockridge, you feel at one with the surrounds, just as it should be.
