LAVISH is an understatement when it comes to labelling this Sorrento mansion, but it is the water, skyline and mountain views that are its biggest selling point.

Owners Yu and Wing Kwan Tang bought the property almost eight years ago after falling in love with its waterfront position.

The two-storey home sits on a sprawling 835sq m block at 72 Blair Athol Cres.

Showcasing picture perfect opulence, it has a contemporary design with luxury features scattered throughout, including water features, an outdoor fireplace and chandeliers.

Splashes of feature wallpaper as well as natural materials, including quartz and white onyx, scattered throughout give it a sophisticated style.

“This house pretty much embodies everything I was looking for,” Dr Wing Kwan Tang said.
