Perched high on one of the Northern Beaches’ most coveted headlands, a mysterious black home in Mona Vale has locals stopping in their tracks.
And for good reason. From its terraces, the horizon stretches from Warriewood Headland to the open sea, the sort of cinematic vista usually reserved for postcards.
The property was designed by architect Matt Elkan and feels less like a suburban home and more like a private coastal retreat – and it is currently on the market for $8.95million.
Expanses of glass frame the rolling surf, while timber and sandstone finishes anchor the house in its natural setting.
By day, sunlight pours through vast windows; by night, the waves provide a soundtrack no surround-sound system could ever match.
Walking through the property, the interiors unfold like a study in coastal living.
Polished concrete floors and bespoke cabinetry create a modern yet warm aesthetic, while open-plan living spaces spill effortlessly onto multiple alfresco terraces.
One terrace even has a built-in barbecue – perfect for long summer evenings with friends as the ocean breeze rolls in.

The kitchen is every bit the showpiece: sleek stone benchtops, custom joinery, and high-end appliances make it a space for both entertaining and everyday life.
Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a sanctuary in itself – boasting uninterrupted ocean views, sliding open the doors, and a private sunlit terrace.
Other bedrooms balance privacy and space for family or guests, while a potential wine cellar and double garage with internal access add a layer of practicality often missing in cliff-side homes.
Beyond the walls, Mona Vale and its surrounding suburbs make up one of Sydney’s most enviable lifestyle corridors.
Locals spend mornings at seaside cafés, take afternoon walks along the coastal trails, and unwind at boutique shops dotted through the village.
Narrabeen and Mona Vale beaches – with their ocean pools and iconic surf breaks – are just a short stroll away.
For those who like their weekends active, there’s a golf course nearby, playing fields for community sport, and a driving range.
Families benefit from leading local schools, while the B-Line express bus makes a trip into the city surprisingly seamless.

Properties on this stretch of Narrabeen Park Parade rarely hit the market – not just for the views, but for the lifestyle they represent.

Living here would mean embracing the Northern Beaches dream in its purest form: sun-drenched mornings, salty air drifting through open windows, and a sense of escape that’s just 45 minutes from the CBD.
As one local put it, Mona Vale is ‘where you go to live the life you always imagined’.
And at this address, you can see why.
