A glamorous Mosman home that’s hosted high society soirees and graced the pages of Vogue Living has just hit the market with Ray White Lower North Shore principal Geoff Smith.

Offering the ultimate beachside lifestyle with cutting edge design, 26 Esther Rd is an unmatched trophy home just footsteps from the golden sands of Balmoral.

The five-bedroom residence, designed by Alex Popov, is set on 718.7sqm and was purpose built for entertaining.

As Smith says: “With unobstructed views from The Esplanade to Balmoral Beach and beyond, the property exudes luxury and sophistication for all stages of family life.”

With an expansive floor plan, the home is enveloped by a wrap-around central north facing courtyard and a large family-friendly swimming pool for year-round gatherings.

The full concrete construction is a blend of limestone surfaces, walls of glass and floor-to-ceiling stacker doors with sleek contemporary interiors throughout, including bespoke joinery.

But it’s the array of separate entertaining spaces that really set the property apart, Smith said.

“The C-shaped layout around the swimming pool features the main living areas at one end, entertainer’s kitchen and family room in the middle, and three bedrooms and two striking skylit bathrooms on the opposing side,” he told Mosman Collective.

Dividing both living areas is a newly updated chef’s kitchen. Equipped with new European appliances, the streamlined high-end joinery is topped in marine Grade Stainless Steel and vast storage.

Created for comfort, custom steel guttering and motorised external blinds protect the home from wind, rain and sun.

“Life is at its best when the walls of stacker doors are open to the views, sun and balmy breezes,” Smith said.

The home has five bedrooms including a palatial 75sqm main suite. The adults’ retreat features sweeping water views, an upholstered day bed, bespoke timber study nook, a luxury ensuite with freestanding Victoria + Albert bathtub and double vanity plus a boutique-inspired dressing room.

Outside, you’ll find low-maintenance manicured tropical gardens, terraces for alfresco dining, as well as secure gated off-street parking and garaging for up to four cars.

“Offering families the opportunity to come together or seek solitude, there is also a versatile self-contained lower level with its own stone topped kitchenette, storage and five star bathroom,” Smith said.

“This is a lifestyle purchase like no other, and a forever home just 200m from Balmoral Beach.”
