Situated in a highly coveted quiet, wide street, this magnificent Federation manor graces a spectacular 1360sqm dual frontage landholding. Built in 1899 by noted architect E Jeaffreson Jackson, and now offered for sale for just the second time in its 124 year history, capitalise on the nostalgic craftsmanship, family friendly grandeur and idyllic convenient lower north shore address.
The current owners purchased the property in 1994 and with esteemed Sydney architect Howard Tanner the home was sympathetically renovated and extended in 1999 to enhance the original architecture with modern convenience - the Housing Industry Association 'Renovation of the Year' was awarded to 'Clissold' in 1999.'Clissold' is a cherished family home, but the time has come for the next family to move in and create their own memories.
Complete with a North/South grassed tennis court, families will delight in this multi-use outdoor space flexible as a playing field in addition to the spectacular yet relatively low maintenance gardens. With scope for the addition of a swimming pool, (subject to council approval), 'Clissold' offers the luxury of space and is perfect for raising children and entertaining family and friends.
A home of enduring quality, ornate archways and feature lead lights are purposefully continued throughout in keeping with the original architecture. Channelling harbour cameos toward the Eastern Suburbs from the upper level, most rooms enjoy views out to the surrounding greenery. Over delivering on accommodation options, four bedrooms are grouped together upstairs including the king-size master suite with harbour views, sunroom, walk-in robe and glamorous ensuite. The fifth bedroom is ideal guest accommodation with its own ensuite and access point. Four bathrooms plus a guest powder room service this extraordinary home. There is also vast roofline, under-stair and sub-floor storage/cellaring.
Offering busy families a private refuge close to both the harbour foreshore and the attractions of Mosman village, enjoy a leisurely walk to Sirius Cove Reserve, harbour beaches, ferry wharves, bus stops, Taronga Zoo and leading schools.
