The Mosman residence features a stylishly redesigned boathouse.
Here, in the northern parts of Mosman, with views the length of Middle Harbour comes a home that represents style and sophistication through simplicity.
The multi-level, 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 2-car garage home — that boasts over 700sqm of living space — highlights its perfect positioning through intelligent design at the hands of Gelder Architects.
Inside, expect the contemporary design coupled with screens and frameless pull back glass doors to lead the eye towards those aforementioned views across the home’s three-level — all of which are linked via a lift.
Technology is at the forefront of the design, with entertainment and media supporting the functions of lighting, air-conditioning, security and more.
The huge open-plan living area — complete with summer courtyard to the rear — opens to a large entertaining terrace and more views. Also in the open plan living comes the chef’s kitchen — adorned in marble, and fitted with Gaggenau appliances — and butler’s pantry which opens onto the formal living and dining zones also complete with an outdoor terrace.
The middle level of the home sees the majority of the bedrooms, with three found here all with ensuites — two of which enjoy terrace access — while a fourth bedroom with ensuite is found on the home’s upper level.
The home’s lower level features a climate-controlled wine cellar behind a rumpus room that flows outdoors to the heated infinity pool.
Here, the garden — designed by Marcia Hosking — leads towards a deepwater jetty, deep water jetty, pontoon and mooring pen.
Headlining the long list of luxurious additions to the home is the reconfigured boathouse that now sees a kitchenette, bathroom and day bed and features a corrugated sliding door, timber interiors, a fireplace and luxurious details such as handles on cupboards sourced from Murray River blue gum stumps.
The home is listed with Richard Simeon (+61 411 499 906), of Simeon Partners and has a $23 million price guide. Simeonpartners.com.au

A home that’s right at the entrance to Jeff Bezos’s Beverly HIlls estate, which the billionaire purchased for $165 million in 2020, is now on the market asking $19.8 million.
Shaded by mature olive trees, the three-story modern mansion on Angelo Drive spans nearly 10,000 square feet, and includes five bedrooms, a bar and lounge, a home cinema, a pool with floating benches, and a 15-car garage.
The modern home centers around a striking wood staircase that extends through all three floors, creating an eye-shaped spiral.
Other design choices include a full-height black marble fireplace, herringbone wood flooring, grayscale marble backsplashes in the kitchen and bathroom, banks of floor-to-ceiling windows and a seating area in the middle of the pool.
There is also an outdoor kitchen and eating area poolside, and a living space with sliding doors that open directly onto the pool deck, for indoor/outdoor living.
The home was built in 2021 and designed by Gabbay Architects for the owner, who purchased the underlying property for $4.1 million in 2015, according to property records accessed through PropertyShark.
The seller, who runs a Beverly Hills-based plastic surgery practice, could not immediately be reached for comment.
The Benedict Canyon house came to market Friday with Tomer Fridman of Christie’s International Real Estate. He could not immediately be reached for comment.
The Bezos estate is also known as the Warner Estate, named after its first owner, Hollywood mogul Jack Warner of the Warner Bros.
After Warner, the 9-acre estate was owned by music executive and film producer David Geffen, followed by Bezos. The property includes a palatial Gregorian Revival mansion built in 1939 and designed by architect Florence Yoch to befit the status of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
At $19.8 million, the new listing offers quite a deal compared to other properties neighbouring Bezos. In Florida, the owner of a vacant lot next door to the Amazon founder’s estate on Indian Creek Island is asking $150 million for it.
Renovations in Yorkshire included the revamp of a 30-room wing where a descendant of the estate’s builder still lives.
