House description
“Rare Waterfront Reserve Opportunity Restore Grandeur with Spectacular Main Harbour Views”
Proudly gracing the idyllic foreshore of Taylors Bay, this majestic c1915 manor retains its original lofty grandeur across each heart-warming level. Ready for restoration or reinvention, capitalise on the underlying Federation charm, uninterrupted Main Harbour views and the exclusivity of a Clifton Gardens waterfront reserve address.
Embraced by a magnificent Tallowwood veranda combining intimate Taylors Bay views and sweeping Eastern Suburbs vistas, striking arches frame the postcard worthy outlook to absolute perfection. Upholding exceptional scale throughout, towering heights continue from the veranda into the elegant entry and formal rooms all showcasing exquisite patterned ceiling details. Lofty proportions are also maintained in the five bedrooms upstairs, the entire footprint of the house replicated below in the sandstone foundations creating endless storage with future potential for a lower level accommodation.
A landmark home on the Taylors Bay Track, the house itself forms part of the iconic scenery captured along one of Mosman's prettiest harbourside walking trails. Tightly held by the one family since 1937, this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure your very own slice of Sydney Harbour and create a generational residence in a premium blue chip setting. A location to be envied, discover the unspoilt tranquillity of harbourside living moments from transport, leading schools, local beaches, celebrated eateries and within ear shot of Taronga Zoo.
