Is this the perfect Mosman family home?

For local house hunters, there is no better place to be than the Balmoral Slopes. Ideally located between the beach and the village, the exclusive enclave is tightly held for excellent reason.

With its spellbinding outlook across a harbour panorama, 30a Redan St ticks all the boxes, offering the ultimate lifestyle for discerning buyers searching for their “forever home”, Ray White’s Geoff Smith says.

“It is a residence of classic grandeur at its timeless best, in a sunlit elevated vantage point on a prestigious street,” he said, “taking full advantage of a large 635sqm block.”

Recreated in 2009 to span an impressive 318sqm internally, Dixon Andrews Architects have blended ageless beauty with contemporary convenience.

Holding two prized street frontages, arrive home via the double garaging off Redan Lane through an internal access point just footsteps from the main living area and kitchen.

“With its provincial styling and family-sized layout, the stunning kitchen features hand-painted timber cabinetry topped in Stone Italiana. Fitted with two Neff ovens, a Neff steamer, Miele cooktop and Asko dishwasher, it is centred around a family-friendly island serving as the hub of the home.”

Views over Balmoral abound through a wall of glass, opening to a Travertine paved terrace, and the open plan layout is elegantly zoned by coffered ceilings with bespoke joinery and a marble-topped mantelpiece framing the Jetmaster fireplace.

“Cohesive in its design direction and materials palette, both the open plan living and the gracious formal rooms are united in Blackbutt timber flooring,” Mr Smith said.

A relaxed TV room or teenage retreat is found alongside four large bedrooms, with French doors opening to a north-facing courtyard.

“The master suite features an east-facing terrace, taking in views over Balmoral and beyond,” Mr Smith said, “connecting to a recently renovated ensuite and three sets of built-in robes.”

Superbly landscaped to maximise every inch of its vast landholding, there is gated access off Redan Street into the private poolside living, complete with an entertaining pavilion.

Thoughtfully customised, the pavilion has a kitchenette, powder room, storeroom and outdoor shower. Gas-heated for year-round use, the mosaic-tiled swimming pool adjoins a spa with a water feature complementing the surrounding hedging, lawns and natural rockery.
