20 Awaba St, Mosman goes under the hammer on May 29.
A classic Federation facade on Awaba St hides a pleasant surprise. Beyond the double front doors, the century-old home has been transformed into a designer residence fit for a growing modern family.
The Mosman home, which last sold in 2011 for $2.575m according to title records, is set to go to go under the hammer on May 29 through Ray White Lower North Shore.
Thanks to a savvy split-level layout, old world charm and contemporary living coexist in harmony across the entry level.
Original rooms at the front of the floor plan feature picture windows, high ornate ceilings and a chandelier, while the rear of the footprint has sleek glass bi-fold doors, and a vast 6m void drawing in loads of natural light.
