Iconic Mosman mid-century masterpiece reinvented for modern day family living.

By ANNA USHER

A “mid-century masterpiece” designed by one of Australia’s most influential architects has just launched in Mosman, thrilling prestige buyers on the hunt for an iconic home.

Dating back to the 1960s, this original Nino Sydney residence is one of just 100 still standing in NSW and the only one of its kind on the lower north shore.

A premium example of his early work, 32 Central Ave, was reborn for 21st-century living by Victoria Dennis, featuring minimalist interiors and panoramic views over Middle Harbour.

With a sculptural staircase beneath a gallery of skylights as its centrepiece, the spacious home strikes a perfect balance between light and form on a generous 765sqm corner block.

Geoff Smith, Director of Ray White Lower North Shore, said the four-bedroom property offers streamlined, clutter-free living on an impressive scale.

“It is a spectacular, modernist family home with a refined, pared-back palette to suit luxury buyers searching for something special,” he said.

Encased in walls of glass and outlined by a viewing terrace, the open-plan layout boasts views over Middle Harbour towards Seaforth, Northbridge and beyond.

A vast kitchen serves as the hub of the home, with a stone island, integrated Miele appliances, plus a Liebherr double-door wine cabinet, leading to an elegant dining and living space with a gas fireplace. A cosy TV nook and sliding glass doors open to the wraparound terrace.

“The home is superbly zoned for modern family life,” Mr Smith said.

Bespoke built-in robes feature in all four bedrooms, and the master suite adjoins a contemporary ensuite flooded with natural light filtered through an internal winter garden.

A poolside entertaining room has been expertly customised downstairs with a hidden wet bar, an integrated Miele refrigerator and a Liebherr double-door wine showcase.

“Bi-fold doors open off the inside entertaining space, and stacker doors open from the adjoining rumpus room to the covered poolside dining patio, alongside a granite-topped outdoor kitchen,” Mr Smith said.

To be sold with a long list of extras, 32 Central Ave also comes with internal access from a double garage, ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning and sleek window dressings.
