When this spectacular deep waterfront home last changed hands back in 1999, Prime Minister John Howard and his family were firmly ensconsed just down the road, at Kirribilli House.

In this beautiful harbourside pocket, home to some of Australia’s finest residences, freestanding properties are seldom listed.

Those with boat moorings and a private jetty are as rare as hen’s teeth.

The home comes with its own private jetty and boat mooring.

From its extraordinary position on Sydney Harbour and offered for the first time in 25 years, 27a Elamang Ave, Kirribilli, is nothing short of an exceptionally rare offering.

Just listed with Geoff Smith and David Gillan from Ray White Lower North Shore, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom stunner “floats” above Careening Cove, with a north-easterly aspect that chases year round sun.

“Elamang Ave is one of the only street streets on the north shore with a north-facing waterfront, normally to get that aspect you would have to be in the Eastern suburbs,” Mr Gillan said.

The home last traded in 1999, when John Howard was Prime Minister.

One of only nine waterfront homes on the blue chip stretch, the property takes full advantage of its jaw-dropping views, with sliding glass doors seamlessly linking three interconnecting living spaces to a harbourfront terrace.

“The sunlit entertaining spaces directly adjoin the jetty and boat mooring,” Mr Smith told Mosman Collective, “to take in a postcard setting that most buyers can only dream of.”

“It is a prestige, luxury home of a world class standard.”

The home has a prized north-easterly aspect and “floats” above Careening Cove.

Open-plan in its design, the deluxe kitchen services the impressive internal dining space and the Velux covered alfresco entertaining. Connecting to two landscaped outdoor escapes, the central courtyard garden spills out from the relaxed family room.

Cleverly crafted, the home offers spacious accommodation including a breathtaking master bedroom suite. Casting a watchful eye across the harbour from its very own balcony, the master also boasts a walk-in robe, built-in robes and a heated ensuite.

“Bedroom two opens to a balcony overlooking the courtyard and versatile studio,” Mr Smith said.

“Ideal for guest or au-pair accommodation, there is also a studio with access to a private bathroom that has been fitted with custom joinery.”

Interconnected living, dining and family spaces are a standout feature of the home.

Stylishly updated and personalised, quality inclusions and innovative design choices make this a home of enduring appeal.

A bank of three skylights naturally illuminates the staircase, drawing attention to the high ceilings.

“The home will be sold with a long list of extras including heated floors, air-conditioning, garden irrigation and lighting, endless storage, intercom and alarm.”

Set closer to the harbour than the streetscape, 27a Elamang Ave has a discreet frontage, securely positioned behind a secure car space and lockup garage.

“A location second to none, watch the ferries cross the harbour destined for nearby Kirribilli Wharf located just a short walk away,” Mr Smith said.
