Pharmacists Gary and Mary Smoker have relisted their Mosman trophy home, Ardagh.

It had initial $15 million hopes through Brendan Warner of Raine & Horne Mosman, but is now listed through Richard Harding at LJ Hooker who says there had been only five owners in a rich 110 year history, "truly one of the North Shore's finest family estates."

Set on 2700 square metres, the seven-bedroom Federation mansion with pool and tennis court was built in 1905.

In 1922 it was bought by former British trade commissioner John Adamsand his wife Gwynneth who sold it in 1964 to pianist John Champ.

Smoker, a former Mosman alderman, bought the Prince Albert Street property in 1993 for $1.7 million.
