A long-held Mosman home at 2A Cross Street has returned to the market after a complete renovation, marking another chapter for a property that remained under the same ownership for about three decades.
A New Chapter for the Mosman Home
The five-bedroom property had been owned by the late Andrew Turnbull for about 30 years before it sold last year to Bant Investments for $8.1 million. It had initially come to market with expectations of $10 million.
Records cited for the property show Turnbull bought the double-brick home for $2 million in July 1995.
Since the sale, the residence has been extensively reworked while retaining its large-scale layout. It now contains five bedrooms, five bathrooms and parking for four cars, with about 472sqm of floor space spread across three levels on a 771sqm block.
The renovation extended throughout the home, including its kitchen, bedrooms, bathrooms and living areas. The layout includes three living spaces, an office or study and a separate studio apartment with external access.
A gym, spa and infrared sauna have also been incorporated, while the garage has been upgraded with an epoxy resin floor.
Cross Street Setting Remains Central
The property sits on Cross Street, close to shops and an oval, while its boundary adjoins Sydney Harbour National Park.
Its elevated position provides views across the harbour towards the city and ocean. The house also includes balconies and a limestone courtyard, with a full-width balcony overlooking the surrounding outlook.
Access is provided by a 60-metre cobblestone driveway with remote gates. Security cameras, an intercom and an alarm system are also included in the current listing.
The location and scale of the property remain key parts of its character despite the extensive internal changes.
Property Returns to the Local Market
Atlas founding director Michael Coombs is handling the sale alongside residential sales agent Dan Meakins.
Coombs reported a high level of inquiry within the first 24 hours of the property being launched. Across properties he is handling, first-day inquiry had risen from an average of about 11 or 12 six months earlier to about 30 to 32.
No specific first-day inquiry total was given for 2A Cross Street.
The property has been reported with a $16.5 million price tag, although the Atlas listing does not publish a numerical price guide and instead directs buyers to contact the agency.
Turnbull, who previously owned the Mosman home, had served as chairman of Mt Isa Mines, chief executive of Burns Philp and a senior executive at GEC Australia, and held numerous board positions during the 1980s.
