When the owner of this stunning Mosman home first saw it a was on the market a few years ago up he was intrigued enough to want to take a look.

Other owners had added their touches to the grand triple brick and concrete home over the years, and Mr Boddam-Whetham was only too delighted to show the prospective buyer through.
“We (his wife, also an architect) and I built it ourselves in the 1980s,” Mr Boddam-Whetham said
“It was a labour of love and it’s lovely to see it’s still being appreciated.”
Photographs alone don’t do the home justice – especially come dusk when you are sitting on the rooftop terrace looking out over the treetops views above Mosman Bay.
This substantial home is so tucked into the trees, and with neighbours on only one side, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the middle of nowhere.
The rooftop terrace.
Timeless beauty.
The current owner has invested in a spectacular series of lights that are neatly nestled into the trees, adding to the night time spectacle.
In reality you are in secluded privacy, only metres from shores of Mosman Bay, adjacent to Reid Park and a short walk from the Mosman Bay ferry. The Avenue Road shops and cafes are close by, and Mosman Village is within easy reach.
Inside, the home is a contemporary work of art with a vast floorplan that offers a range of formal and casual living and dining spaces, inside and out.
The wine cellar.
Formal dining.
Light and fresh air are in abundance thanks to the two rows of glass that run across the length of the house on two sides of the rooftop.
The private rooftop terrace has a wet bar and barbecue area – a perfect place for relaxing or entertaining.
Easy living.
Formal living.
Other features include an integrated wine cellar, full alarm system, double garage with internal access and separate lower level self-contained suite.
The property is due to go to auction on August 6, with a price guide of $3,700,000 to $3,900,000.
