When you look at the professional runs on the board Nick and Phillipa Tayler have, it comes as no surprise that their Mosman home is bursting with artistic flair.
Mr Tayler is an architect with 30 years’ experience and Mrs Tayler a social worker, artist and art therapist, who has worked and volunteered for in the health, welfare and educational sectors for more than 25 years.

They have owned 30A Mandolong Rd, since 1994, and over the decades have renovated, creating a cherished family home where they have raised three daughters and collected countless memories.
The striking design features extensive use of glass, louvres and balconies to create a luxury home with a beach house that is full of light, sea breezes and wonderful views to Balmoral.
The beach itself is an easy 250m walk away, and the Taylers have loved being able to walk to the water with their kayaks.
“This house is exceedingly easy to live in,” Mrs Tayler said. “As our family has grown the house has been able to evolve with us.”
The couple’s artistic touch is everywhere in the home – even the heated plunge pool with swim jets and spa is a visual pleasure thanks to the walls of glass that line one side of the rumpus room.
It creates a clever frame for the pool and its sandstone wall, turning it into a water feature you can swim in.
Other features include a versatile studio/office/gym, artist’s studio and double carport. The property is for sale by expressions of interest, closing on September 30.
Jacqui Rowland-Smith, of Di Jones Mosman, has set a price guide of $5.75 million to $5.95 million.
She said the uniqueness of the design was attracting plenty of attention from buyers all over Sydney.
“The architecture is so clever with the way the owners have utilised the aspect and the Balmoral views,” she said.
The property is open on Thursdays and Saturdays from 11.30am-12.15pm. Private inspections are also available.
