A dire shortage of luxury properties for local downsizers is fuelling record interest in high spec Mosman apartments, like this captivating penthouse with uninterrupted views over Chinamans Beach.

Just listed with Richard Simeon and Sabrina Gao, 5/17 Warringah Rd is a superbly scaled, four-bedroom prestige residence in the tightly held “Avenel” building, a vast land holding once owned by iconic author Ethel Turner, who wrote Seven Little Australians.

Not one – but two – vast entertaining terraces offer incredible space and majestic views.

“It’s the ultimate in low key, lock-up-and-leave, luxury living,” Mr Simeon told Mosman Collective this week.

“We are seeing unprecedented interest from empty nesters desperate to live in Mosman and there is just not enough stock to go around, which explains the interest in this property.

“The layout is absolutely perfect and has been thoughtfully planned on a single level.”

The modern, immaculate kitchen is bathed in northern light.

With gun barrel views over the harbour and across to Clontarf, the apartment is vast – almost 20 metres in width – spread over 283 sqm.

“The home is bathed in northern light with a stunning kitchen, open plan living and dining and two huge entertaining terraces,” Mr Simeon said.

“There is a vast amount of space for outside living and entertaining,” Richard Simeon said.

The master suite, with a walk in robe, sitting area and ensuite is enveloped by breath taking vistas delivering the best in beach side lifestyle, and two further bedrooms (each with built ins) have been designed with family in mind.

“There’s also a fourth bedroom, currently configured as a study, which would perfectly suit anyone working from home,” Mr Simeon said.

Solar power, level access from the street and a double garage with storage are ticking buyers’ boxes, Mr Simeon said, with many keen to investigate the option of adding an internal lift and gas fireplace, which is already Council approved.

With approval for an internal life and gas fireplace, the home has the chance to become “world class” Mr Simeon said.

“The penthouse is in meticulous condition and has been built to last, but by adding a lift, the new owner would elevate this residence into something truly world class,” he said.
