One of Sydney’s most recognisable waterfront properties, known locally as the “wedding cake house,” has hit the market for the first time since it was built in the 1980s, carrying a price guide of $9 million.
Perched on a 1,100-square-metre parcel overlooking Middle Harbour, the European-style residence is instantly visible to drivers crossing the Spit Bridge or boats cruising beneath.
According to domain.com.au, it was built by painter-builder Nikolaous Dimitriadis and his wife Kiriaky, who purchased the site unseen at auction in 1979 for $93,000.
Dimitriadis commissioned architect Robert Blackmore to design the five-bedroom, three-bathroom home, incorporating colonnades and arches as a nod to the couple’s Greek heritage.
Nikolaous passed away only three years later, but the house became the heart of family life for Kiriaky and their children, hosting countless gatherings over decades.
Prospective buyers will have the opportunity to add a pool and pontoon, with a development application currently pending.
The property is being sold by Brad Pillinger of Pillinger and is set for auction on September 10.
