Westpac boss Brian Hartzer has spent $6.8 million to buy on Pittwater’s western shore.

Hartzer and wife Georgiana have bought a charming sandstone weekender at Elvina Bay with water views from its elevated wraparound veranda.

The home (above and below) sits on more than 2000 square metres of north-facing gardens, with a boat shed on its 50 metres of water frontage, according to marketing by Lachlan Elder at LJ Hooker.

It last traded for $6.25 million in 2007 and was built in the 1920s for a retailing family.
