About our home

Ours is a modern, 2 story, 4 bedroom house in a quiet street in this seaside suburb, 10 minutes from Australia's prettiest city, & close to child-friendly harbour beaches and Pacific surf at Manly. Sunny and light, opening to sandstone patio and large garden, with natural gas barbecue, ideal for relaxing with a book, or entertaining friends. The property has a secure rear access for the car and is safe for children. Master bedroom with en-suite; office or children’s TV/playstation area; modern kitchen, open plan to lounge with fireplace; family sized bathroom with spa; there's a pool table & library in the large garage. Mosman is virtually surrounded by water, with breathtaking views of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Activities include beachcombing, sailing, windsurfing, swimming, kayaking, fishing, scuba diving, and spectacular, easy bush walks to sheltered coves and inlets. There are excellent restaurants, cinemas, boutique shops and a short ferry or bus ride to city attractions. Supermarkets and services are a 5 minute walk away. Close by are Taronga Park zoo, Balmoral Beach, historic forts and tunnels, bushland, bird watching, views of the city, marinas, restaurants, fish and chips on the beach, and canoe & sailboat hire.
