Layered into the hills above Tamarama Beach, this four-storey home appears to float above wide ocean vistas with direct pathway access down to the beach and views that will never be built out.

A finalist in the 2024 Australian Interior Design Awards (AIDA) and Interior Design Excellence Awards (IDEA), the home was designed by Penman Brown with a lush oasis-like garden by Secret Gardens.

Alexander Phillips sold this home in 2017 to the current purchasers who undertook a complete renovation, transforming the property into The Carlisle, a Tamarama icon showcased on The Local Project and Est. Living.
 
“Set against a cinematic backdrop of uninterrupted Tamarama beach and ocean views, this is no ordinary beach house but a bold and sculptural expression of rustic futurism by Penman Brown,” Alexander Phillips told LUXURY LIST.

“Inspired by the cult classic film American Gigolo, interiors are unapologetically sensual with an earthy, global feel that uses timeless materials in innovative ways with a palette of natural limestone, clay, wool, grass weave and oak, juxtaposed with folded and forged metals.”

Crafted to endure and be remembered, The Carlisle defines this celebrated stretch of Sydney's eastern coastline as much as it embraces it.

Reborn from a shell by Penman Brown, the home has been curated and composed with purpose, featuring limestone walls and floors, whitewashed oak floors and lighting by Pinch London and WorkStead.
