Rooster’s nest – 55 Countess St, Mosman.
Sydney Roosters star Jared Waerea-Hargreaves has listed the stunning lower north shore home he renovated with wife Chelsea, but the couple have no plans to move far.
The couple bought the classic Mosman design at 55 Countess St a few years ago and spent about eight months renovating it with the plan to make it their forever home

But Mrs Waerea-Hargreaves said the renovation bug had bitten her hard and she was keen to try her hand at it again.
The couple are hoping to find their next project in the area, especially with their eldest of two daughters due to start school next year.

For Mrs Waerea-Hargreaves, the leap from a career in finance to home renovator wasn’t that great – she said her father was a builder and developer and her mum very talented when it comes to interior design.
“We bought this as our family home and we created a beautiful family home which we love,” she said.
“But I would also love to sell and do it again, I really enjoyed it.”

Michael Coombs and Anthony Godson are planning to take the property to auction on August 29 with a guide of $4.85 million.
Mr Coombs said the couple had put their hearts and souls into the renovation.
“They have done an amazing job with it,” he said.
The property is a clever mix of classic architectural styles that make the most of the light-filled interiors and extensive outdoor spaces.
Classic style.
All-seasons outdoor living.
Cosy up.
The skylit all-seasons deck has an outdoor kitchen that is perfect for the family whatever the season, and the living areas are kept cosy in winter with a dual sided fireplace,
Other features include a stone kitchen with Miele appliances, impressive main bedroom with
deck, ensuite, walk-through wardrobes, zoned ducted reverse cycle airconditioning, and state-of-the-art home security system including video intercom.
The manicured rear garden and lawns are low-maintenance thanks to an integrated irrigation system, and there is a gas-heated pool.

Easy indoor-outdoor flow.
Mrs Waerea-Hargreaves said she and her husband had thought carefully about listing their home in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We did question it, but this seems like a long-term thing and I don’t think it’s going to go away overnight,” she said.
“We always planned to sell it later this year so we’ll see how we go.”
And with the current shortage of prestige property for sale in the lower north shore, buyers are almost certain to be lining up this Saturday at 1pm to take a look.
