The genius of this Gary Banham-designed family residence on Mosman Park's iconic Saunders Street is its sympathetic relationship with its geographic setting.
The street view is low, white rendered and stone walls with glimpses of garden, but come into the house's upper level and a 180-degree panorama, 40 kms deep appears. It's an extraordinary spectacle, unsurpassed by any the city has to offer.
Spacious dining and lounge areas and a wide balcony take full advantage of their spectacular setting, shared by a master suite boasting a walk-in wardrobe and superb resort double bathroom.
The spacious lower level accommodates a professional office and sitting area, and an entertainment den for family and friends to enjoy a movie or the footy together.
The floor's accommodation wing has two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one with a timber-paneled Finnish sauna. The wing opens to a verandah with a 10-metre kidney shaped pool.
The residence is designed to give its owners, their family and guests every luxury, especially the most valuable one of all, privacy.
Its calm, cool aesthetic has touches of the purity of Greek Islands villas, its bold horizontal lines echo the confidence of the Prairie School. The serene front courtyard, under its London Flame Tree, marks the seasons in the quiet shade and brilliant colour of a Japanese garden.
This is a house that, with a deep relationship to its surroundings and the family who will live and thrive in it, would be a landmark in any city in the world.
