It’s not often that two worlds collide so perfectly — the convenience of a contemporary city residence with the dream of a beachfront location.
This modern home has the best of both, so it’s little wonder the current owners, the Smith family, have held on to it for more than 23 years, paying $1,895,000 in 1998.
With a north-easterly aspect in the highly sought-after Chowder Bay corner of Mosman, the 888sq m property has rare direct access to Clifton Gardens Beach and sweeping views across Sydney Harbour through Sydney Heads.
The five-bedroom, four bathroom home with double garage at 15 Morella Rd has now hit the market in an expressions of interest campaign closing March 7 with a $15m price via Richard Simeon of Simeon Partners.

Simeon says: “I’ve sold well over 50 local waterfront properties and this is the first with direct access onto a beach.”
Fit for a growing family, the expansive house has plenty of room for multiple generations to work, rest and play. There are formal and informal living zones, plus a grand terrace and resort-style gardens.
Upon entry the million-dollar views are on display with the main living level including the kitchen, family zone and separate lounge area flowing to the rear outdoor entertainment space.
The sleek open-plan kitchen has an island bench, gas cooking, European appliances and an adjoining butler’s pantry-style laundry.
The ground floor also hosts a media room, a full bathroom and a bedroom with its own separate bathroom and sitting area, making it an ideal option for guests, or even a comfortable home office.
The expansive deck is perfect for long lunches and has an impressive harbour outlook. Beyond the alfresco dining space there are landscaped gardens and a vast 11.5m solar-heated pool.
Four more bedrooms sit upstairs, each with water views and built-ins, sharing a family bathroom with tub and twin vanities.
The main bedroom has a glamorous ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and large private balcony overlooking the harbour, beach and national park.
Additional features include ducted airconditioning, ample storage options, a double lock-up garage with convenient direct internal access and a home gym.
The home is well-placed to take a dip after breakfast or head to one of the local cafes across the beach. Nearby are harbourfront walking trails, a local playground, Mosman’s shopping precinct and popular schools.
