The ‘Minnamurra’ is one of South Sydney’s most prestigious historic homes, originally built in the 1920’s and set on a 902 square metre block of waterside land.
This residence was made by Taubman Paints Family. John Taubman was renowned for his hand crafted copper horn, which started the annual Port Hacking Race. He was also involved in designing, constructing and protecting the Penninsula against fire.
This house reflects his vision and values. It features an inviting exterior that extends to the interior, which exudes old world charm, fused with a classic design and modern comforts.
Some highlights include New Zealand rimu timber mantel piece and flooring, a sandstone fireplace, red cedar timber work, stained glass, lead light windows, detailed cornices and mouldings, imported Italian wall tiles, a parquetry timber foyer, original timber shingles and on-site quarried exterior stonework.
The layout consists of a casual and formal living area, a sun room, a grand formal dining room and a gourmet kitchen with a casual breakfast bar.
The master suite is located on the upper level and boasts a walk-in robe, an ensuite and French doors leading to the balcony capturing unrivaled views of the Royal National Park and Port Hacking River.
An immaculate outdoor area embraces a manicured backyard, original stonework, copper lamps and a double garage with barn style doors at the rear.
To complete the picture, it is close to shops, parks, schools and transport.
