Wake to water and birds in one of Sydney’s historic suburb gems in a charming modernist split-level house. With own adjacent bathroom, this stunning, light, spacious room and balcony opens out over Tarban Creek with views over Riverglade Reserve, a short 20-30 minute ferry or bus ride away from the city.

Freshly renovated, the master bedroom is the jewel of this harbour-side house, with a queen-size bed, large wardrobes, two comfortable chairs and footstool besides a desk and chair.

The rest of the house is shared with owner/occupier choreographer/dancer, alongside a photographer/personal trainer. Two large and friendly standard poodles (non allergenic) guard the house. If you are interested in withdrawing into an idyllic waterfront home surrounded by garden and beautiful vistas inhabited by art- and nature-lovers then this may be for you.

Beside an airy kitchen and breakfast room equipped with dishwasher, enjoy an array of flowers in the sunny north-facing garden terrace or the relaxing shade of the verandah with a BBQ overlooking the creek on the south side.

The dining area embraces an inspiring view of the water whilst the sitting room with mid-century furniture links to the verandah and south-facing garden also overlooking the creek.
