Built Circa early 1900's with magnificent street appeal, this majestic harbourside manor commands an exclusive and rarely seen north easterly vista from the Sydney Heads to the main harbour and Eastern Suburbs.
Gracing 1378.4sqm (Double block) of established garden and trees, 'Venetia' has changed hands just three times in its rich 116 year history. A stately slice of Mosman's past, the grand interiors tell tales of years gone by through the meticulous preservation of the striking 3.74m patterned ceilings, formal receptions rooms and original servants' quarters. Adapted for modern family life, the everyday dining room, oversized kitchen, family room and entertaining terrace all boast views as sizeable as their impressive proportions. A gracious Tasmanian maple staircase links the original residence to the 1907 upper level addition, housing further bedroom accommodation with scope to extend the floorplan and outlook even further.
Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to acquire a magnificent architecturally significant residence with a spectacularly unique perspective of Sydney Harbour within a prestigious peninsula setting close to Mosman village, beaches and elite schools.
