16 Arbutus Street, Mosman NSW 2088

Positioned within one of Mosman’s most esteemed harbourside enclaves, this distinguished residence named ‘Kooringal’ offers a rare opportunity, having been held by the same family for over a century. The property occupies a substantial corner allotment on a peaceful one-way street, delivering commanding street presence and breathtaking views across the harbour.

Constructed in 1902 and retaining much of its original character, the home features elegant period detailing such as high ornate moulded ceilings, architectural window frames with leadlight, panelled doors, wide skirting boards, picture rails, and multiple fireplaces that exude heritage charm. The residence’s two-level layout benefits from a sympathetic 1980s addition, which includes a spacious open-plan family or rumpus area on the upper floor, complete with stunning vista, a practical kitchenette, bathroom, and generous storage options.

The flexible floor plan comprises four well-sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom boasting a bay window that captures the light and views. There are bathrooms on each floor alongside a separate toilet, and a large family-sized laundry providing direct access to the rear. The living and dining spaces accommodate both formal and informal arrangements, enhanced by abundant natural light through extensive glazing. An original kitchen with pantry and ample storage underlines the home's traditional functionality, complemented by a covered sunroom/veranda creating additional relaxed space to enjoy the surroundings.

Outdoor living is supported by an enclosed rear lawn and garden, offering opportunities for careful updating and landscaping to suit contemporary lifestyles. Vehicle accommodation is generous with a lock-up garage for two cars and a covered carport for another two, meeting the needs of a growing or established family.

‘Kooringal’ is perfectly located within moments of Balmoral Beach, its iconic sands and esplanade, as well as local public and private schools renowned for excellence, including Queenwood and Mosman Public School. Mosman Village and Junction shopping precincts are easily accessible, alongside abundant community and sporting facilities that enhance a well-rounded lifestyle.

With substantial potential to restore and modernize while preserving its architectural heritage, this property will appeal to those who value character, elevated harbour views, and an exceptional family setting in a prestigious Sydney suburb.
