Balgowlah 37 White Street

'Whitehall' a majestic & grand landmark residence

A landmark estate, stately 'Whitehall' is a home steeped in history, grandly presiding over an extraordinary 1056sqm corner site and embodying all the grace and elegance of its 1877 build. A rare example of Victorian Gothic architecture, it has been the esteemed residence of a number of iconic Australians including our first Prime Minister, Sir Edmund Barton.

A significant renovation and expansion in the 70's has been sympathetic to its awe inspiring original features, enhancing its already impressive proportions and adding a level to take advantage of tranquil harbour vistas across Forty Baskets Beach to Manly. Boasting dual street entries and an approx. 65m street frontage, it is wrapped in well established mature gardens.

The superb proportions and versatile floor plan will easily accommodate a large family. Multiple living areas are complimented by generous outdoor spaces whilst the upper level self contained apartment provides options for extended families or guests.
