Fifteen minutes from downtown Sydney is a tranquil bushland escape that’s like stepping into another world.

Here, your backyard is a nature reserve where bushwalking tracks, water views of Sugarloaf Bay and the cry of kookaburras are reminders of a simpler life.

Willoughby Park, local schools and city buses are all within easy walking distance while the Castlecrag Shopping Centre is perfect for relaxing with a latte.

Recently renovated, the home is set back from the street and offers a low-stress family lifestyle. Your first impression is of the beautifully manicured front gardens, double carport and sandstone steps leading up to a front porch.

Inside, there’s a generous open plan lounge/dining room with high ceilings, stained timber floors, gas fireplace, aircon and patio doors opening to a wide private deck with expansive views over the bush.

The dining area features built-in storage and adjoins the brand new gas kitchen with glass splash-backs, stainless steel gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, fridge and plenty of storage with a large pantry.

On the upper level are three generously proportioned bedrooms with high ceilings and brand new wool carpet. The master bedroom has a large built-in wardrobe while the second bedroom features a private balcony and the third bedroom, a freestanding wardrobe.

In a separate rumpus room on the lower level, one can enjoy daylong sunshine. It features a cozy study nook and opens to a level lawn area. The spacious fourth bedroom, also on this level, is perfect for a guest bedroom or teenager’s retreat.

The stylish modern main bathroom with bath and separate shower is situated on the upper level. A fully tiled combined bathroom and laundry features a frameless glass shower and Electrolux front-loading washing machine/dryer and is located on the lower level.

Maintenance of the fully landscaped garden and lawn is included in the rent and there is plenty of storage under the double carport. This is the perfect combination of bushland peace, relaxed entertaining and city convenience.
