'Valhalla' - north facing modernist home on a prized 841sqm landholding

First time offered in 50 years, with a corner position on one of Mosman's finest streets and a generous 45.72m north-facing frontage on peaceful Elfrida Street, this cherished mid-century home welcomes an abundance of natural light into its open, free-flowing interiors. This property offers fabulous flexibility, encircled by well-established, leafy gardens creating a peaceful, parklike outlook and a haven of privacy. The view to the north west from the sun-drenched terrace carries the eye across the valley to a vista of treetops, adding to the sense of spaciousness.

Retaining nostalgic architectural signatures of the 1950s, a modernist sandstone feature wall marks the entry into the hand-laid parquetry-floored foyer which expands into a light-filled, open-plan living area with access to the terrace - ideal for entertaining. To the other side of the foyer a hall leads to a separate kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and laundry. The kitchen, bathed in northern sun, has been well maintained and timelessly updated. The travertine kitchen floor (with underfloor heating) and Rosso Verona marble benchtops continue into the custom office. The efficient workstation has purpose-built filing drawers and an inspiring garden outlook.

Downstairs is a third bedroom, bathroom and relaxed living/family room opening to the garden, with its own open-plan Caeserstone-topped kitchen. Separated from activities upstairs, this living room would provide an excellent office space for those working at home but there is also the flexibility to use the entire lower level as a fully self-contained apartment.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a blue-chip property of the utmost distinction and make it your own 'Valhalla' - a glorious hall of feasting for heroes - with unlimited possibilities to either extend the current house or create a remarkable contemporary residence/s on the property's extensive grounds.
