With sweeping harbour views towards Manly, North Head and beyond, this Queen Anne Federation manor in the heart of Mosman is unquestionably one of Sydney’s finest homes.
Selling agent Erik Stoneberg of Forsyth in Willoughy described the property as “one-of-a-kind” in this exclusive, blue-chip pocket.
“Very few surrounding homes boast grounds over 2000sqm,” Mr Stoneberg said, adding: “Nor do their sandstone walls often stretch from the foundations to the rooftops.”
Built circa 1905, the home known as ‘Boondabah’ at 200A Raglan Street combines the grandeur of a heritage mansion with the best of contemporary refinement.
There’s a commercial-grade gourmet kitchen, rumpus and bar, gym, private yoga studio, and bespoke cellar and tasting room.
Guests are entertained beneath soaring, ornate ceilings in the formal lounge and banquet rooms.
A generous extension offers relaxed open-plan living and dining, with outdoor entertainment beside the heated infinity pool, and fully equipped cabana.
A palatial master retreat with dressing room, ensuite, and wrap-around private terrace offers spectacular views of Sydney Harbour.
There are five additional oversized bedrooms, four with ensuites, two with private balconies, and one opening to a sunroom.
The old-world ambiance created by wrap-around verandahs, leadlight windows, marble fireplaces and hardwood floors, meets the modern convenience of ducted heating and cooling, intercom, alarm security, and a motorised gate leading to spacious off-street parking and a double lock-up garage.
Positioned high in the prestigious Balmoral Slopes, the home offers easy access to Mosman village and its exclusive boutiques and restaurants.
It’s a short stroll to stunning Balmoral Beach, as well as to many of the area’s excellent schools.
“There’s been a recent wave of properties coming on the market in that $20 million to $30 million price bracket,” Mr Stoneberg explained.
“But buyers are realising these don’t come up all that often in this position.”
Inundated with enquiries from buyers and their representatives since the property was recently listed, he said several groups have requested private inspections ahead of open viewings.
With a price guide in excess of $19 million, expressions of interest close on April 22.
