Is this Mosman’s finest renovation? Welcome to stunning family retreat “Edinglassie”.

By ANNA USHER

Once in a blue moon you’re presented with a luxury home that exceeds every expectation, delivering elegance, comfort and sophistication on a breathtaking scale.

With the evolution of stunning “Edinglassie” now complete, this spectacular family sanctuary is in search of new custodians to enjoy a fresh era in the estate’s long history.

Commanding city and harbour views from an elevated 960sqm land holding, 2 Thompson St has been reborn for modern living while retaining its old-world grandeur.

Built in 1907, the Queen Anne Federation residence has been recently transformed into one of Sydney’s premier properties, described as the “ultimate forever home” by listing agent Piers van Hamburg.

“This landmark property holds pride of place in the coveted enclave of Clifton Gardens,” he told Mosman Collective, “it is a majestic trophy home that is captivating in every way.”

Completely custom built to the highest specifications, 2 Thompson St offers five bedrooms crowned with a decadent whole floor master suite.

“There is a deep, wrap-around verandah leading to a faultless haven defined by soaring ceilings, lavish proportions and incredible harbour views,” Mr van Hamburg said.

The open-plan rear celebrates state-of-the-art living, balancing indoor and outdoor spaces, a sun-drenched deck and terrace by the heated pool.

“It is a clever design that has left nothing to chance, with clear sight lines to the pool from the kitchen and dining – and there is an automatic vergola to temper the Sydney sun,” Mr van Hamburg said.

“Three of the four bedrooms have their own luxury ensuites, and I love the hidden office that opens out to Sydney Harbour.

“Everything about this home is high-end, from the bespoke kitchen to the huge Master suite with its own living area, private balcony and glam station.

“The other unique inclusion is a rare four car garage, with plenty of storage space and enough room for a gym.”
