Welcome to 11 Murray Avenue - a very rare "Heritage Listed" (category 2) home that preserves so much history its hard to ignore.
Originally built in 1893, the front of the house was home to a stonemason and one of the early settlers of Mosman Park. As you approach, you'll notice the "Lemonville" marble tile at the front entrance, a nod to the original name of this stunning property. Since being purchased by an architect in the late '90s, the home has been completely renovated and restored. While it boasts a modern aesthetic, it retains the rich history that defines it.
Inside features vibrant lemon yellow and soothing seafoam green hues throughout, the high ceilings keep the house cool in the summer. Intricate architraves and ceiling roses enhance the home's charm. There are four spacious bedrooms, each with extra-high ceilings and decorative fireplaces (non-functional). The master bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in robe.
The open-plan living area showcases beautiful pine flooring and flows seamlessly into a meticulously landscaped, ultra-private rear courtyard-ideal for alfresco dining. The courtyard features terraced limestone gardens, an ornate water feature, and an abundance of fruit trees, including mandarin, almond, and apricot. Imagine unwinding with a glass of wine among the flowering trees, enjoying the peace and tranquillity. Additionally, an outhouse provides the perfect space for a teenage retreat, home office, or hobby room.
The kitchen is well-appointed with ample cabinetry, a built-in oven, a hob, and a dishwasher. It connects to the laundry room, which adjoins the main bathroom featuring a bath, a large shower, and plenty of cabinetry for linens and towels.
With parking for two cars and ample off-street space, this home is ideal for working professionals or a large family.
After two decades of loving care, improvement, and maintenance by the current owners, it's time to pass the torch to a new and fortunate owner who will cherish this home just as they have.
Enjoy making memories for many years to come, in this once in a lifetime property.
