There could soon be a housing record set in Sydney as a massive multi-level eight-bedroom mansion currently under construction in the suburb of Dural may become one of the largest, if not the largest, homes ever built in Sydney.
Renowned Australian developer Sid Nassif purchased the mega-mansion in 2013 according to plans approved by The Hills Shire Council and obtained by the Australian Financial Review. Those plans revealed that the property will have 3550 sqm. when completed.
The house is located in a semi-rural area of Sydney and is nearly 36 kilometers away from the CBD. The large estate will boast an elevator, 14 bathrooms, a fitness center, a movie theatre and basement parking with space for eight vehicles. Other amenities including eight balconies, large terrace areas, a number of living rooms, a billiards room, a swimming pool with a spa and an outdoor bar.
McGrath Castle Hill sales agent Elise Lau sold the property to Nassif and said the following about it, “It’s massive, but if the site so far is anything to go by, the inside is going to be superb. “I have had people call me asking ‘who did you sell it to?’, ‘what are they building? Even though it’s a family home, initially when they had the basic walls going up it could have looked like an apartment building.”
GM Architects were entrusted to design the home, according to the website which added it will stand 10 meters high when finished. The nearby Blue Mountains will be clearly visible for those living inside the property. Homeowners in the area have taken notice of the new residence and are now living by the motto, “bigger is better”.
“The trend is for bigger and bigger homes, and it’s more about these big family entertaining areas and they also seem to like the fact that every bedroom has an en suite rather than sharing bathrooms,” Ray White Dural principal Sandy Ward pointed out. “I don’t know why anyone would want to build anything that big, but it’s been bought by a large family, a close-knit family, who have people and relatives come and stay with them.”
