The much anticipated Villas Neutral Bay unveils Residence 304 on Saturday 7 November.

Buyers will have their first chance to step inside The Villas Neutral Bay when Residence 304 is unveiled on Saturday 7 November, offering a first look at the elevated sanctuary and its views towards the Sydney and North Sydney skylines ahead of completion.

Set opposite the green expanse of Forsyth Park at 7 Premier Street, the boutique development brings together a rare combination of skyline outlooks, leafy neighbourhood character and generous indoor-outdoor living, positioned between Neutral Bay’s vibrant village and the harbour.

Leading the final release prior to completion is Residence 304, a sun-drenched home where expansive living spaces flow onto an elevated, private balcony. By day, the outlook stretches across the district towards two city skylines; after dark, the illuminated buildings create a striking backdrop for entertaining.

The campaign, led by Matthew Smythe, Principal of Belle Property, will introduce the residence with a proposed price guide of $5.25 million.

“Neutral Bay puts you in the heart of the Lower North Shore, close to the harbour and the city, with village cafés, restaurants and beautiful green spaces on your doorstep. It is a lifestyle people actively seek out and are often reluctant to leave,” he said.

“To find a brand-new residence in this setting, opposite Forsyth Park with views towards both the Sydney and North Sydney skylines, is something special.”

Kitchens offer natural stone benchtops and splashbacks, bronze-finish detailing and V-ZUG appliances.

Residence 304’s main living, dining and kitchen areas connect directly to the sun-filled balcony, creating an inviting setting for long lunches, relaxed evenings and entertaining against the changing city backdrop.

Inside, light oak engineered timber flooring, natural stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, bronze-finish detailing and V-ZUG appliances introduce warmth and texture. Ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning supports comfort throughout the seasons.

Smythe said the first inspections would give buyers a much clearer understanding of the residence’s outlook, proportions and privacy.

“Views like these are difficult to convey through a floorplan. Standing inside Residence 304, you can appreciate the relationship between the living spaces, the balcony and the two skylines beyond,” Smythe said.

“It is an exceptional setting for entertaining, but it also feels private and secluded, a home where you can enjoy the outlook without feeling on display.

“It is an exceptional setting for entertaining, but it also feels private and secluded, a home where you can enjoy the outlook without feeling on display,” Matthew Smythe said.

“For local buyers, particularly those moving from a larger house, that balance of space, light and ease of living is incredibly appealing. You can retain the qualities you love about the Lower North Shore while making everyday life simpler.”

That simplicity extends to the parking. A conventional driveway and basement ramp provide access from Premier Street, with no car lifts or car stackers. Residence 304 includes two side-by-side parking spaces, with lift access from the basement to the residential levels.

“For downsizers, straightforward parking is a significant consideration,” Smythe said.

“Here, you can drive in, park side by side and take the lift to your level. Together with separate basement storage, it is a practical advantage that buyers will recognise immediately.”

City Views

Residence 304 opens for its first public inspections on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November.

Residence 304 opens for its first public inspections on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November. Further inspections will be held on Wednesday 11, Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, with regular Wednesday and Saturday opens thereafter.

Private appointments are also available for qualified buyers.
