Pikster inventor lists ‘Sydney’s best kept secret’

3A Beattie St, Balgowlah Heights has a $9m to $9.9m price guide.

Entrepreneur and dentist Dr Craig Erskine-Smith is sending off his long time Balgowlah Heights home with price expectations of $9 million to $9.9 million through Kingsley Looker of Clarke & Humel.

The six-bedroom, three-bathroom house with four-car garage at 3A Beattie St is set to go under the hammer on October 11.

Founder of the revolutionary dental cleaning device, Pikster, Erskine-Smith bought the six-bedroom house at Beatty St in 1992 for $855,000 — prior to inventing the interdental brush.

“The incredible thing is, he invented Piksters in the very garage of this house. It’s got a great story behind it,” said Looker.

Open plan living areas lead to the huge entertainment terrace.

“Then there’s the combination of things with this property, including its extraordinary position. Beattie St is arguably the best position in Balgowlah Heights. People come here and they’re just mesmerised. It’s like going from business class to first class. This is Sydney’s best kept secret.”

The expansive four-level residence has 675sq m of internal living and is on a 1186sq m block in a quiet cul de sac.

The four-storey home goes under the hammer on October 11.
