Some houses whisper their stories. This classic Sandy Bay stunner positively holds court.
Perched with aristocratic confidence on one of Sandy Bay’s most distinguished addresses, Highfield doesn’t simply occupy its elevated position, it commands it with the kind of unshakeable poise that only a century of gracious living can bestow.
Petrusma Property managing director Sam Towns said one family has held this property for the past 30 years.
“It is an extraordinary home,” he said.
“While beautifully maintained, the next owner will have opportunities to put their stamp on Highfield.”
Mr Towns said No.555 Sandy Bay Rd is an aspirational property.
“It is a premium, blue-chip home that once you own you will want to hold for decades,” he said.
“It is incredibly private. The pool, the deck area, and the lush gardens take centre stage. It’s an oasis.”

Step through the entrance and let the soaring ceilings lift your spirits, while intricate Federation cornices trace elegant patterns overhead — the kind of architectural calligraphy that modern builders can only dream of replicating.
