The resort-style home at 23 Wunulla Road, Point Piper, has a $12m price guide.
One of the first things the owners of this magnificent Point Piper home did when they bought it seven years ago was build the cabana beside the wet-edge pool.
It was a smart move. Stepping onto the cabana’s rooftop terrace — accessed via a bridge from the main house, with owner Gail Kohan and Double Bay agent Paul Rich, I was blown away by the extraordinary northerly harbour view over the marina of the neighbouring Royal Motor Yacht Club.
“We’ve had quite a few parties out here — especially on New Year’s Eve,” said Gail, who with her husband Professor Lawrence Kohan, one of Sydney’s leading orthopaedic surgeons, purchased the home in 2013 through Rich.

The house is at 23 Wunulla Road, Point Piper, right next door to the yacht club.
The cabana is fully self-contained, with a kitchen and ensuite.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom home with double garage at 23 Wunulla Road has now hit the market with Rich with a $12m guide in an expressions of interest campaign closing September 18.
If you were the purchaser, why wouldn’t you have parties here all summer long in this harbourside paradise?
Wake up to glorious harbour views.
Professor Kohan loves to have a sauna followed by a swim in the wet-edge pool, even in winter.
The cabana itself, below, is fully self-contained with a kitchen and ensuite. There’s even a sauna. Professor Kohan apparently loves a sauna followed by a swim — even in winter.
They’d called on the help of architect Philip Perrie for this addition, and also a major refurbishment of the lower part of the 1910-era house.
The biggest change was the removal of a wall in the kitchen, which has created a huge cooking and food preparation area, with a marble island bench, with top-notch Smeg and Bosch appliances including an in-built coffee machine. And of course amazing harbour views.
Gail’s favourite spot is sitting at the marble island kitchen bench in the huge kitchen, enjoying the harbour view.
The large open-plan living area opens to the terrace.
Gail says this is her favourite part of the house. “I just love sitting at this bench — it’s like living in a resort. Just beautiful!” she said.
Still, with the three children having moved out and now living overseas, the couple are contemplating a move to a maintenance-free penthouse.
And the lucky new owners-to-be stand to benefit. The open-plan living area opening to the terrace is perfect for a family. And the four bedrooms upstairs either have their own ensuite or a bathroom close by. Three have a balcony with harbour view and steps lead down the side of the property to the waterfront.
Paul Rich, of Richs Real Estate, says: “With level access, stunning harbour views and resort-style amenities, this spacious family residence is simply outstanding.”
