Clanalpine House is a delightful Federation-style property that embodies much of what is typical
and attractive in Mosman’s residential character. An elegant fusion of traditional and contemporary aesthetics creates the perfect home for modern family life.
The new rear addition cleverly angles away from the original bungalow. Facing east, this deliberate reorienting unlocks greater views towards Sirius Cove and creates privacy in the spacious court-yard.
Internally, the main living spaces offer an abundance of natural light and ventilation at every opportunity through generous windows and clerestories.
The spacious courtyard seamlessly connects the pool, cabana, and garden to the internal living spaces. The blending of sandstone with zinc boldly but sensitively complements the original building.
Inside, the use of sandstone, light oak joinery, and herringbone flooring modernises yet honours the home’s traditional bones. A Scandinavian colour scheme, hardwearing timeless materials and clever cabinetry in the bathrooms and bedrooms create a welcoming and relaxed ambience while meeting the growing family’s practical needs.
While the modern addition creates a new contemporary experience, its execution still seamlessly preserves the original bungalow’s charm.
