THE HISTORY OF DUNCRAIG HOUSE

Duncraig House offers an exciting and rare opportunity to acquire not just a luxury residence of the highest calibre, but a unique piece of Australian history.

Standing tall and proud on Duncraig Road, two-storey Duncraig House has long drawn admiring glances from passers-by.

Built in the 1920s as part of Heathcote Reception Home, Duncraig House was designed to provide accommodation for 36 nurses. Bedroom quarters opened onto the balconies and wraparound verandas, bringing in the spectacular views across the bay.

When Heathcote closed as a facility, Duncraig House was later turned into three upscale boutique residences.

The three properties were later acquired by the current owner to turn Duncraig House into a solo residence, designed by renowned heritage architects, Hocking Heritage + Architecture. Work began to meticulously reconstruct the maisonettes to create a grand home, with an ancillary dwelling to the western side.

Today, Duncraig House is a magnificent, modern re-envisioning of its original build; a home worthy of its prestigious location, fascinating history and iconic address.
