A five-bedroom home with its own gate leading to Balmoral Beach has hit the market with a $6 million price guide.

From the full-width terrace at 17 Kahibah Rd, the view runs across a canopy of reserve to the water and headlands beyond, taking in all-day northern sun from a prized Mosman address.

The home sits on a 613sqm block, and its rear gate leads straight to the waterfront reserve, with Balmoral’s sand, swimming enclosure and park close by.

“It is a striking modern entertainer, and there is a coastal sophistication that runs through every level,” Ray White Lower North Shore Director Geoff Smith said.

Inside, the open-plan living and dining room sits under a sculptural curved clerestory window framed in warm timber, with wide oak floorboards and floor-to-ceiling glass.

Stacker doors slide back to a full-width undercover terrace with room for long lunches, lounge seating and a barbecue, all facing the harbour.

The kitchen pairs Shaker-profile cabinetry and brushed brass hardware with stone benchtops and an island bar that seats four, along with dual AEG ovens and a Smeg induction cooktop.

A servery in the dining room holds a built-in wine fridge and integrated storage.

A second, more relaxed living room opens to its own terrace with bush and water views, and several of the bedrooms take in the vista too.

The main suite has floor-to-ceiling glass onto the terrace and its own ensuite, and there are two more ensuites and a powder room.

There is also a self-contained two-bedroom wing with its own living area, kitchenette and treetop balcony, suited to guests, extended family, a teen retreat or a home office.

The garden has sandstone walls and steps, a level lawn, lush tropical planting and an outdoor shower for after the beach.

Georges Heights Oval, Clifton Gardens Reserve and the boutique shopping and dining of Mosman Village are all close by.

“The home sits in a prestige location, with Balmoral Beach, Balmoral Park and the waterfront reserve at the back gate,” Mr Smith said.

It goes to auction through Ray White Lower North Shore on Thursday 19 November at Ray White House in Glover Street with a guide of $6 million.
