After nearly two decades of meticulous renovations, Koorawatha is ready for its next custodians.

The six-bedroom residence at 9 Musgrave St, Mosman is up for sale in an expressions of interest campaign via Stefon Bertram of Pello closing March 19.

“This is an incredible Federation home, renovated to the highest calibre with sweeping views including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge,” Bertram says.

Current owners, Kim and Craig Stokeld, bought half a house in 2000 and eight years later reunited the two halves of the former boarding house originally built in 1907.

A fine example of arts and craft architecture, heritage-listed Koorawatha represents an elegant chapter of Mosman’s heritage the Stokelds were keen to revive.

“It had been subdivided in 1969 and one side was renovated to a certain point, while the other was really dilapidated,” Stokeld said, adding that the couple worked tirelessly with OCP Architects to revive Koorawatha.

“We were effectively renovating from 2000 up to 2018 when we merged the two properties. Although it was very functional as two homes, we’re a family of five so it worked better for us to expand the footprint.”

Sitting on a 790sq m block, the grand old dame features 655sq m of internal living space, six bedrooms and four bathrooms over three levels. The top-to-bottom project also incorporated a host of “invisible” updates including new stormwater drainage, electricity and home automation.

“A lot of significant engineering work went into achieving the final product, but the result has been phenomenal. Now there are wide open spaces whereas many historic homes have pokey rooms which aren’t used. I can honestly say every room in our house is used and with the exceptional views, it’s beautiful day and night.”
