The seven-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion at 37 Wentworth Rd in Vaucluse is owned by Julian Babarczy, a former portfolio manager at Regal Fund Management, and his wife Olivia, the founder of interior design group Studio S.O.
It was briefly listed in early 2020, just weeks before the pandemic arrived in Australia, with a guide price of A$15 million, but was cancelled before the major makeover.
Back on the market today with a new co-agent and a revised price guide of A$25 million, this meticulously remodelled property boasts impeccably stylish and spacious interiors to rival the enviable expansive harbour backdrop from Manly to overhead.
Ray White Double Bay's Warren Ginsberg and PPD's Alexander Phillips have set a $25 million price guide for the June 3 auction.
Says Ginsberg: "This is a magnificent trophy property in Vaucluse with stunning north-facing harbour views and beautifully appointed finishes."
On three expansive levels, there are multiple living and entertaining spaces both inside and out, as well as three hotel-style accommodation suites, plus four bedrooms, six bathrooms and a three-car garage - all on a large 1011 square metre plot.
Built by F. Glynn Gilling in the 1920s, this rare residence has all the hallmarks of the celebrated architect - such as the iconic white arches - plus Olivia's sophisticated modernity.
Villa Villano benefits from an abundance of natural light, imported features such as Calacatta marble kitchen surfaces, Carrara marble bathroom basins, Spanish wall tiles, brass taps, smoked limestone and engineered oak flooring and Otsu wood plaster.
Beyond the private front courtyard is a magnificent marble foyer with a series of strategically placed arches overlooking the gunwales of the harbour.
On this welcoming entrance level is the huge living and dining space, which extends to a huge travertine entertaining deck.
The adjoining marble topped kitchen has Ilve appliances, Liebherr fridge and a large island bench.
A second sitting room overlooking the courtyard is the ideal poolside spot with an adjoining bathroom and lift to the other floors.
On the upper level are three suites including a new master bedroom with full width windows capturing views of the water, a dressing room, a second walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious ensuite with a harbour backdrop behind the freestanding bath.
Luxury amenities include everything from smart home technology to solar power, hydronic heating, electric awnings, a magnesium heated pool and a roof terrace with 360 degree views.
Located on one of Vaucluse's most exclusive streets, the recently refurbished Villa Villano is a Mediterranean romance with a touch of Hollywood glamour.
