Record Breaker: “Glencairn” is a Kurraba Point trophy estate that will blow your mind.
By ANNA USHER
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.
