A four-bedroom Mosman house above Chinaman’s Beach, which sold for $3.05 million through McGrath Estate Agents prior to auction, was the top Sydney sale last week.

It was first listed for sale in August last year with an asking price of $3.3 million.

It last sold for $2.4 million in 2006 and previously for $1.15 million in 2000.

The two-storey, high-set house at the end of a cul-de-sac was advertised as having a master bedroom with a “resort-style” ensuite bathroom with water views and outdoor access.

According to RP Data, Mosman has a median sales price of $2.1 million with an average time on market of 92 days and average discounting of 11%.

The house was sold by Matthew Smythe of McGrath - Neutral Bay who had been giving a $2.9 million plus price guide.

The 60 year old house underwent a redesign by the architectural firm Atelier Haefeli about three years ago.
