Magnificent Federation Filigree family home on premier Mosman street
Wilga, built in 1901 by Smith & Cabban, is a truly grand residence, one in a Mosman precinct of equally significant mansions. It is an outstanding example of Federation architecture transformed to suit modern family living, where magnificent original features have been faithfully maintained and restored and sympathetic contemporary additions have been seamlessly integrated.
This fully renovated stately home is impeccably presented internally and externally, as expected in a house of such integrity. The Federation-era part of the house is pure and beautifully preserved: ornate ceilings and cornices are a notable feature; all windows have the original glass; fireplaces with marble surrounds have been restored; and only retrieved sandstone from Balmain has been used in recently installed paths, fountains and fence pillars.
The formal and casual living / entertaining areas are on main floor, with bedrooms and full bathrooms on the upper level, accessed by front and rear internal staircases. All rooms are generous in size, with high ceilings and linked by graceful archways, creating an ambiance of luxury and comfort. This is reinforced by the unifying neutral tones,
