Celebrated within the pages of Vogue Living, this reinvented Queen Anne Federation stylishly exposes its innate c1910 grandeur through a chic contemporary lens. Cleverly orientated to maximise northern sun upon a near level 1106sqm Clifton Gardens landholding, postcard views across the main harbour through to the Eastern Suburbs and out to the Pacific Ocean are superbly showcased within this extraordinary home.
Joyfully recreated by the team at Handelsmann + Khaw, a warm European sensibility acts as the key in linking the home's nostalgic charm with its modern architectural extension. A soft muted colour palette is enhanced by waxy venetian plaster walls with signature archways reflected in bespoke joinery details. Offering the luxury of space, soaring 3.5 metres ceilings are outlined by louvres enhancing the impressive proportions and sense of scale. With natural and artificial lighting playing a unique sculptural role in every room of the home, the 407sqm internal footprint offers the choice of two distinct atmospheres within the one remarkable residence.
United by heated Limestone flooring, a spectacular breezeway is the centrepiece of the relaxed everyday living connecting to a versatile poolside pavilion, rumpus room or media room. Committed to the enjoyment of both the outlook and the resort style landscaping by Dangar Barin Smith, glass walls retract, some completely for an unbreakable bond between inside and the newly refurbished 13 metre heated swimming pool and spa. Presenting as the ultimate entertainer, the heart of the open-plan concept is a custom stainless steel chef's kitchen. Streamlined with a focus on connectivity and functionality, the kitchen footprint opens into a butlers' pantry lined in bespoke joinery with mesh inserts. Finely crafted by Silhouette Kitchens, the kitchen has been seamlessly integrated with a built-in Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, ZIP tap, Insinkerator, Miele dishwasher, Miele microwave and a Qasair exhaust above the feature 900mm Lacanche Beaune French cooker with double oven and six burner gas cooktop.
The whole floor parents' retreat has an unmistakable hotel suite feel with double cavity doors opening into a five-star bathroom united in Calacatta Monet marble. The top floor also features a two-station home office, his and hers dressing rooms and sweeping harbour views. There are four more bedrooms on offer, one parading harbour views from its poolside balcony. All bedrooms are appointed with built-in robes; bay windows are dressed in custom linen drapery and designer lighting choices drop down from restored ceiling roses. Serviced by a total of three newly renovated bathrooms finished in micro cement, unique detailing within a luxurious materials palette provides stylish cohesion throughout.
Set behind a heartwarming 26-metre-wide frontage upon one of Mosman's most desirable cul-de-sacs, become established within an idyllic harbourside community close to Clifton Gardens Reserve, Taronga Zoo, Rawson Oval, beaches and Mosman village.
