Discreetly set behind an idyllic frontage, 3 Gordon St is a five-bedroom family home rebuilt from the ground up just two years ago.

Stretched across two levels and blessed with all-day northern sun, the grand-scale residence delivers the luxury of space in one of Mosman’s most coveted enclaves, close to both Balmoral Beach and the village.

Described as “the ultimate entertainer”, the home has been purpose-built for growing families, delivering the luxury of space within supremely stylish surroundings, Ray White’s Geoff Allan says.

“It is one of those perfect Mosman homes, located on one of the suburb’s most tightly held streets,” he said.

Soaring proportions, including double-height windows, are a standout feature of the residence, along with walls of glass stacker doors that seamlessly connect elegant interiors to the great outdoors.

With a clear line of sight from its open-plan concept, the kitchen effortlessly anchors the interconnecting living areas, allowing you to watch kids at play in the pool or in the secure backyard.

“A towering, pitched ceiling protects the outdoor lounge, poolside dining and alfresco kitchen,” Mr Allan said, “and the open-plan concept allows you to watch kids at play in the pool or in the secure backyard from the kitchen.”

Centred around a pendant-lit island, the kitchen and butler’s pantry serve as the heart of the home, balancing classic elements with high-tech inclusions.

“The farmhouse sink sits comfortably next to two Siemens double ovens, a Billi tap, two integrated drawer-style dishwashers and a six-burner gas cooktop,” Mr Allan said.

Dark oak floors and wool carpets run throughout, while a double-height window draws all-day sun across both levels.

“With space for families to come together or seek solitude, a relaxed family room upstairs captures views towards Balmoral and has been beautifully customised with bespoke joinery,” Mr Allan said.

“Presenting as a luxurious retreat for busy parents, the master connects to a walk-through robe and a six-star ensuite.”

The three children’s bedrooms each have a walk-in robe, while a versatile fifth bedroom works as a home office with built-in desks.

Both bathrooms are tiled floor to ceiling and warmed underfoot, with two powder rooms for guests.

Other touches include a laundry chute to the mudroom, zoned ducted air-conditioning, plantation shutters, a gas fireplace and internal access from the garage.

Then there is the address.

The Esplanade sits around 850 metres away, and the village about 600 metres on, with Rawson Oval 450 metres up the road.

On 490 square metres with a secure driveway and double garage, 3 Gordon St, Mosman, is family living with nothing to do but move in.

It goes to auction on Thursday, 2 July, through Ray White Lower North Shore, with a guide of $8 million to $8.5 million.
