There are homes that impress. And then there are homes that stay with you.
Originally built in the 1940s, 17 Kylie Avenue, Killara is one of those rare residences where the warmth, character, and craftsmanship of its era meet grand proportions, refined modern luxury, and exceptional family liveability in one of the Upper North Shore's most prestigious pockets.
Privately positioned behind manicured gardens and a sweeping stone-paved driveway, the home creates an immediate sense of arrival. Tall cypress trees and perfectly clipped hedges frame the facade, while the elevated position enjoying a perfect north-facing aspect floods the home with natural light and affords stunning district vistas from its sun-washed terraces.
Step inside and the home's character is immediately felt. A grand entry hall with polished timber floors and an elegant staircase with ornate wrought iron balustrade sets the tone, signalling the quality and craftsmanship found throughout. High ceilings, refined architectural detail, and an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living define every corner of the residence.
Designed for both large-scale entertaining and relaxed everyday living, the home offers an exceptional collection of formal and informal spaces. The elegant formal lounge with arched French doors opening to the front terrace, and the formal dining room with open fireplace, capture the timeless character of the era, while the expansive open-plan family domain forms the true heart of the home.
At its centre, the gourmet stone kitchen is beautifully appointed with Miele appliances including induction cooktop, steamer oven, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, a Zip HydroTap, Vintec wine fridge, and an oversized marble island bench. The kitchen extends effortlessly to the spectacular rear entertaining terrace complete with outdoor fireplace, feature water wall, outdoor kitchen with built-in barbecue, and multiple sitting and dining zones set against a lush greenery backdrop.
Stone steps lead up through the tiered grounds to where the resort-style pool sits on its own level alongside the entertainer's cabana pavilion, complete with its own outdoor kitchen, built-in barbecue, and shuttered privacy, creating a genuine sanctuary atmosphere perfect for long summer afternoons surrounded by established greenery. Beyond, the private rear gardens unfold across manicured lawns, established hedging, and stone pathways, offering a sense of space and serenity rarely found so close to the city.
Accommodation is generously scaled across three levels, with five bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms in total. On the ground floor, a media room opens to the rear while a private fifth bedroom or guest suite sits alongside a full bathroom, ideal for guests, in-laws, or multigenerational living. On the lower level, a dedicated home office filled with natural light, a private wine cellar with built-in racks, and internal access to the double lock-up garage further elevate the home's versatility.
Upstairs, four generous bedrooms all feature built-in robes, while the luxurious master retreat features a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite with dual vanities and underfloor heating, opening to its own private terrace capturing breathtaking treetop and twilight views. Ducted air conditioning, CCTV cameras, and a security alarm complete the picture.
Perfectly positioned within one of Killara's most sought-after pockets, the home sits moments from Killara Station, Gordon Station and village, Ravenswood School for Girls, and is zoned for both Killara High School and Gordon East Public School. Bus services nearby connect directly to Lindfield village and station, while Killara Park, Gordon Recreation Ground, and a choice of tennis courts are all within easy reach. For families seeking access to some of Sydney's finest independent schools, Pymble Ladies College, Knox Grammar, Abbotsleigh, and Roseville College are all conveniently accessible.
