3 Julian St, Mosman, with both a pool and a tennis court, has sold for about $17m. The guide was $16m.

The buyers of Alan Joyce’s Mosman waterfront have sold their current home for up to $1m more than the price guide prior to auction.

Finance industry veteran David Hannon and Sonja Holm of furniture and homewares retailer Home & Clan had a $16m guide for their six-bedroom mansion at 3 Julian St, Mosman via Ray White Lower North Shore principal Geoff Smith.

It’s understood to have sold to a family from the upper north shore for about $17m, well ahead of next Tuesday’s scheduled auction.

Smith had taken 20 buyers through by private appointment ahead of the sale.

The Julian St home was set to go to auction next Tuesday.

The property featured as a Mosman House of the Week last month.

The Hamptons-style homestead with seven bathrooms and parking for seven cars is on a vast Mosman block and is among only a handful of north-facing properties — complete with pool and tennis court — in the exclusive suburb.

Smith and colleague David Gillan sold the nearby Musgrave St waterfront home of the outgoing Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce and his husband Shane Lloyd at the end of July for nearly $21m.

It had hit the market at the start of July with a $20m guide — they’d owned it for just over a year, paying $19m, and didn’t ever move in.

The Hannon-Holm property featured as the Mosman Daily House of the Week last month.

Overlooking Middle Cove, the elaborate family estate sits on 1353sq m and is surrounded by established grounds which include mature trees, a newly resurfaced tennis court, swimming pool and lawns.

It had multiple living areas.

And space for a range of entertainment options.

Rebuilt between 2009 and 2010, the Julian St house features a spacious layout measuring approximately 600sq m of internal living space and designer finishes over three expansive levels.

On the ground floor a vast open plan zone opens to a wide wraparound veranda. A state of the art Carrara marble and white shaker cabinet kitchen sits centre stage with casual living areas to one side and formal entertaining spaces to the other.

While there is a home office and bedroom with ensuite on the entry level, one floor up there are five more bathrooms with built-ins and two family bathrooms.

Plenty of room also for an extensive wine collection.

The home office is on the entry level.

The palatial main has its own grand walk-in wardrobe with clever laundry chute, a private balcony with harbour views and a deluxe ensuite housing a freestanding Victoria + Albert bathtub.

Downstairs houses additional space for families with a vast rumpus and games room, wine cellar, gym and bathroom set next to the pool. There is also a large three-car garage with plenty of space in the driveway to park several more.
