How many times have you driven past “Glencairn” on Harriette St in Neutral Bay and wondered what lies beyond its grand entrance?

The historic estate, completely rebuilt in 2010, sits on an incredible 2,561sqm land holding across two titles and is being marketed locally by Richard Simeon, who’s known for his success when it comes to selling “tennis court estates”.

Purchased by investor Sandy Jan and exchange dealer Tony Collick for $16.5 million in 2016, the mind-blowing property has five bedrooms, five bathrooms and parking for seven cars.

“Although the owners haven’t made many changes, the residence was rebuilt to the highest standard of modern-day design with soaring ceilings, classic staircases and marble bathrooms,” Simeon told Mosman Collective.

“There’s all the grandeur of yesteryear, but with today’s sophisticated Hamptons and Georgian themes.

“It’s a privilege to market a tennis court estate like this one, with its incredible views and gold-standard trophy home right on Sydney Harbour.”

Boasting numerous rooms and vast space for large gatherings, Glencairn offers something for all occasions, with a formal living and dining area featuring a fireplace and 3.1m ceilings – to an opulent home cinema and billiard room.

The spectacular landmark residence – with 715sqm of internal living – has dual street access, and spacious Travertine terraces capturing the water views.

“The bedrooms each have their own private balconies, and there’s a chef’s gourmet kitchen with butler’s pantry and wine cellar,” Mr Simeon said.

Enveloped by Peter Fudge and Anne Wilkes landscaping, the home also has a poolside cabana and wellness space complete with sauna, spa, kitchenette and bathroom.

For casual everyday living, there’s an open-plan family zone – and there’s also a handy guest room on the ground floor,” Mr Simeon said.

Other highlights include a home office, a large laundry, attic retreat, ducted air-conditioning, an integrated indoor/outdoor sound system, full home automation, CCTV back to base security, an irrigation system, a 52,000-litre tank and a double lock-up garage as well as additional parking via Penshurst Ave.
