Introduction
49 Moola Parade offers a rare combination on the Lower North Shore – a home that combines a wonderful mix of architectural elements; soulful spaces; indoor outdoor connections; lots of space and volume and enjoys a ‘parkland setting’ of 1,948 sq m.
Set on the high side of the road, a hop, skip and a jump from Lane Cove and Chatswood shops, public transport and schools, yet feeling a million miles away in its forest of blackbutt, angophora and turpentine trees, the Tasker House is a little bit of magic.
“Having a forest in the back yard, it was an idyllic place to grow up. We wish the next owners as much joy as we have had.”
The Design
The soaring cathedral living room is the star of the show, but the sunroom enclosed on three sides by glass looking out into trees, or the sundecks or patio are where most family time is spent.
Built as a wedding present for his young wife by James Robert Tasker OAM, Master Builder and founding member of the Workshop Arts Centre, and builder of choice to some of Sydney’s best architects, it was substantially remodelled in 1971 to accommodate a growing family of four children.
With five bedrooms, separate living and dining rooms, a downstairs rumpus room, it also has a large garage and workshop, a wine cellar and not forgetting the enormous garden. Think treehouses, cabins and zip wires – whatever one could dream of. Never before listed, this much-loved home to three generations of Taskers should not be missed.
