Known as ‘Roslyndale’, the cherished manor was designed by architect Frederick Clarke and built around 1854 in Dutch Colonial Style. It is set among enchanting gardens at the cul-de-sac of the eponymously named Avenue.

The Woollahra trophy mansion was home to WW II celebration “Dancing Man”, the late Frank McAlary, and is being auctioned on 16 August, following the passing of his widow Patricia, last year. The property last traded in 1978 for a then eye-watering $425,000.
