Prized Federation home in coveted Mosman cul-de-sac has local family buyers ready to pounce.

By ANNA USHER

Nestled alongside Sydney Harbour and above Mosman Bay, Orlando Ave is a quiet and picturesque cul-de-sac that is a true hidden gem of the lower north shore.

Tucked away behind the hustle and bustle of Spofforth St, the tree-lined avenue is made up of house-proud families who enjoy wide street frontages and manicured front gardens on large blocks, some with water views.

There are no prizes for guessing that these prized residences are tightly held, with just two properties changing hands since 2021.

“Once people buy into Orlando Ave, it’s tough to leave,” David Murphy told me this week, “it is a quiet little paradise on the harbour’s edge, with picture-perfect homes and a family-friendly environment.”

Mr Murphy has just listed one of the jewels in the Orlando Ave crown, an elegant five-bedroom haven found at number 18, on a coveted corner block at the “dead end” of the street.

“The owner has been in the home for 25 years and has done an incredible job of transforming the property into a Federation masterpiece,” Mr Murphy said.

“It was built in 1908, extended in 2005 and then had an incredible makeover in 2019.

“Inside, you’ll find Edwardian fireplaces, high ceilings and kauri floors – it is the ideal family home.”

Expansive casual and formal living spaces combined with a versatile floorplan have attracted mainly local buyers, Mr Murphy said, with several families from the eastern suburbs also keen to test the lower north shore waters.

The property has a modern kitchen with a six-burner gas top, double Neff ovens, an integrated fridge/freezer, and stone benchtops.

“Orlando Ave is literally footsteps from the ferry; it’s an easy walk to Mosman village and Cremorne,” he said.

Spread out over two levels, there are three bedrooms downstairs, with a spacious King sized master suite upstairs boasting its own walk-in robe and balcony.

There’s also a study, a beautiful fifth bedroom and a vast amount of storage space,” Mr Murphy said.

Lane access and a double tandem garage complete the picture, and the property is “turn-key” ready for a new era, Mr Murphy said, when it goes to auction on Saturday, 10 June.

Features include:

• Stylish light-filled interiors, classic period features, high ornate ceilings, original fireplaces, polished timber floors.
• Versatile layout with formal & informal living areas, reverse cycle air-conditioning.
