Mr Smith expected a local family looking to upsize will fall in love with Kirkoswald House at 2 Kirkoswald Ave which has been owned by environmentalist and businessman Rob Purves since 1992.
“Either that or I expect it will be an expat looking to move home who will buy this amazing property that would not be out of place in Bowral,” Mr Smith said.
“There is such a relaxed country feel about this iconic homestead built in the late 1800s.”
Blending Victorian grandeur with Australian design sensibility, this majestic colonial homestead is recognised as one of Mosman’s best and first ever homes.
An exceptionally rare opportunity within its salubrious beachside enclave, Kirkoswald House sits on 2163sq m of parklike grounds upon an incredibly private dual access landholding.
A magnificent country-style retreat located between Balmoral Beach and Chinamans Beach, become immersed within the beauty of Mosman’s exclusive ‘Golden Triangle’ footsteps from the shoreline and the attractions of The Esplanade.
With a sense of occasion upon arrival through its wrought-iron gates, magnificent cedar and magnolia trees dating back to c1873, this uniquely breathtaking offering.
With wide sandstone flagged terraces the sprawling single level layout with multiple sets of French and bi-fold doors also boasts sculpted gardens and rolling lawns.
Retaining many of its classic hallmarks, sympathetic additions and modern luxuries seamlessly combine to create a truly memorable aesthetic.
Ceilings soar above the formal rooms, master suite, executive office and hallway superbly complimenting the original timber floorboards adorned with traditional motifs.
Acting as a bridge between the old and new, the marble shaker kitchen signifies the transition to casual contemporary living.
