The Balmoral masterpiece setting a new benchmark for Sydney trophy homes.

By ANNA USHER

Sydney trophy home hunters have converged on a sought-after pocket in Mosman, to inspect one of the suburbs premier properties.

The north-facing, Heather Buttrose designed masterpiece at 8 Windward Ave is said to be “beyond compare”, with 180 degree water views and an immense 550sqm of internal luxury over four levels.

“It is an outstanding, blue-chip property that many have had their eye on for years, and we’re thrilled to bring it to market,” Richard Simeon told Mosman Collective.

“Quite simply, it is one of Mosman’s finest residences.”

Built to impeccable standards, the home is reminiscent of a five-star resort with sculpted gardens, feature lap pool and sumptuous open plan indoor/outdoor entertaining spaces.

“The property is the epitome of excellence, with a 20m frontage and vast swathes of internal luxury, all connected by a lift,” Mr Simeon said, “showcasing eco-friendly design principles and world-class craftsmanship, it’s an engineering feat.”

Soaring, four metre cathedral ceilings bless the top level, which is dedicated to lavish family living and entertaining.

“You can cook up a feast in the gourmet Gaggenau kitchen, enjoy sunset cocktails on the covered front terrace and then retreat to the rear terrace for a garden-side barbeque.”

There are five bedrooms, each with its own ensuite and water view, including an oversized self-contained studio for staff or guests.

“Three of the bedroom suites flow out to a heated lap pool which is just perfect for families with kids,” Mr Simeon said.

“Out of all the trophy homes on the market right now, this one is the absolute standout.

“It exceeds every expectation and has set a new benchmark for excellence in Balmoral.”

Car lovers will appreciate the four-vehicle garage with internal access. There is also a wine cellar for 2,000 bottles, an abundance of storage and smart home technology throughout.

“This home is meticulous, built with the best materials in the world, offering unrestricted water views and a 20-metre frontage,” Mr Simeon said.

“There is no better house on the market, in this price range.”
