Waterfront sale is one of lower north shore’s biggest of 2024
15 Baden Rd, Kurraba Point has sold for $19m.
It took a while but a northside deep waterfront trophy home has just sold for $19m, one of the lower north shore’s biggest sales of the year.
Number 15 Baden Rd, Kurraba Point was on the market for 382 days during 2022 and another 121 days this year.
Owners Brad Cooper and Jo Walker were asking for $20m back in 2022 and again this year and thanks to Geoff Smith of Ray White Lower North Shore they managed to get just shy of their goal and notch up the third highest sale in the suburb.

It’s the third-highest sale in the suburb.
It last traded for $7.6m in 2009, but has had an architectural transformation since then.
Inquiries came from all over Sydney.
Brad Cooper is a former BT Financial chief executive and Jo Walker an antique dealer.
The pair purchased the property in 2009 for $7.6m, then commissioned Bruce Stafford to create an architectural masterpiece which was completed in 2013.
The finished property has a 539sqm floor plan, a harbourside swimming pool, private boathouse and upgraded jetty and panoramas across the harbour to the city and Eastern Suburbs.
Smith said the world-class property attracted inquiries from all over Sydney, the inner suburbs, the east and upper north shore.
The finished property has a 539sqm floor plan.
The property features recycled hardwood.
It’s just three minutes to the Opera House via water taxi.
The buyer is Sydney based, who came into the picture half-way through the campaign but took some time working out what he wanted to do.
“That end of the market sometimes takes a bit longer,” Smith said.
“You have to match the right buyer up with the right property.”
The four-bedroom, four-bathroom home features recycled Australian hardwood, heated polished concrete floors, chandeliers, a wall of glass showing off natural sandstone and bespoke blackened steel stairs.
The main bedroom had an Italian bluestone bathtub below a French chandelier and with views of the harbour and the property is only three minutes to the Opera House via water taxi.
