16 Arbutus Street, Mosman, NSW 2088

A truly rare offering in one of Mosman's most prestigious harbourside settings on Balmoral Slopes. 'Kooringal' is now presented to the market for the first time in over 100 years, having been tightly held by the same family for three generations.

Offering exceptional potential, this distinguished residence is ready to be restored to its former grandeur and transformed into a magnificent family home in one of Mosman's most prestigious harbourside settings.

'Kooringal' presents graceful period features including high ornate moulded ceilings, architectural frames and curves, panelled doors, leadlight windows, wide skirts, sash windows, picture rails and fireplaces.

Mostly in original condition, it has benefited from a second-storey addition in the early '80s, including a spacious open-plan living or family/rumpus space with breathtaking views, a practical kitchenette, bathroom, and ample storage.

Boasting a commanding street presence, the property occupies a substantial corner allotment on a quiet one-way street, with dual access from Arbutus Street and adjoining Evans Lane. Kooringal enjoys breathtaking harbour views across Clontarf and Grotto Point to Manly, North Head and beyond. The enviable position is just moments from the iconic sands of Balmoral Beach, the Esplanade, local highly desirable private and public schools and to Mosman Village and Junction shopping precincts.

Rich in character and heritage, this distinguished residence presents exceptional scope to introduce contemporary comforts while preserving the architectural charm and elegance of its original design. A remarkable piece of Mosman's history, the property holds immense potential to be transformed into a grand and sophisticated family home for generations to come.
