House of the Week: A timeless Holt Ave classic reimagined.

By ANNA USHER

Situated in Mosman’s most family friendly precinct, this elegant Federation residence is a contemporary take on a timeless classic.

The double-fronted home at 85 Holt Ave is one of the street’s standout properties, reinvented by its current owners to take full advantage of its sunny north to rear aspect.

“It’s a lifestyle home delivering a seamless fusion of heritage architecture and innovative design,” Megan Thomas from O’Gorman and Partners says, “we’re seeing strong interest from buyers with kids, hoping to purchase before Easter.”

A quintessential Mosman home, 85 Holt Ave links the old and the new via a stunning pavilion style extension, boasting soaring cathedral ceilings with a state-of-the-art kitchen as the social heart.

“Built in 1910, the property is one of Holt avenue’s best renovations, cleverly thought out with a flexible floorplan to suit families,” Ms. Thomas says.

The four-bedroom layout features two living areas, with the front of the home graced with original period features while the rear opens out to an all-weather entertainer’s dream.

“It’s a house for all seasons and styles of entertaining, with casual living and landscaped gardens at the back, and a more formal space at the front,” Ms Thomas says.

“It really is the best of both worlds.”

On a wide, tree lined avenue renowned for its community spirit, this is a perfect spot for families, located between Cremorne’s shopping hub and Mosman village, with Memory Park at the end of the street.
