Boomerang is perhaps the best surviving suburban estate of its period on the harbour foreshores.
It was designed by Neville Hampson in 1926 for Frank Albert, a music publisher.
This Hollywood Spanish Mission style dwelling and flats are of stuccoed brick with vaguely classical windows and decoration, under a terracotta hipped roof.
The exterior colour is dull brown.
The interior maintains the theatrical air with rooms decorated in different styles from various historical eras.
The gardens, which have significantly matured, are an amalgamation of palm trees, shrubs and fountains with tennis court and boathouse.
A private residence, it sold for A$20.7 million in 2005 to Lindsay Fox.
It has been used as a backdrop for Hollywood films, including Mission: Impossible 2, and is heritage-listed.
