Elevated and set over an expansive 696sqm block, this perfectly positioned two-storey sandstone and ‘blue’ brick family residence, with dual street access, has been respectfully renovated to provide versatile modern living. Displaying an abundance of charm courtesy of high-ceilings, wide skirtings, picture rails and period light fittings it effortlessly blends old-world charm with contemporary comfort.

From an inviting grand entrance boasting a beautiful bay window that overlooks the sprawling front lawn and manicured hedges, the sweeping views of the magnificent Sydney Harbour from certain vantage points within the home, to the wide hallway that gives way to a stunning formal lounge and dining, this generously proportioned home delivers stunning indoor and outdoor spaces.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the huge downstairs entertaining zone that sees a seamless connection between kitchen, causal living and dining areas as well as formal living and dining domains. The gourmet gas kitchen features Miele appliances and a CaesarStone island bench with seating, ensuring hosting and socialising with guests while catering is easy.

Cementing this home as a true entertainer the indoor social spaces spill out onto a generous private terrace, which overlook gently tiered green gardens, which lead to a bonus dual entry, directly from Gertrude Street.

Five bedrooms, one downstairs, and four up, are all private, roomy and light-filled retreats, while the master features multiple built-in robes and a stylish mosaic tiled shower ensuite, with an additional bathroom upstairs servicing the remaining bedrooms.

Offering further convenience for families, is a separately zoned office space downstairs with private access to the rear garden; a spacious internal laundry offering plenty of functional space plus WC; and a LUG as well as additional off-street parking for two cars.

This distinctive home represents an extremely attractive proposition, with Balgowlah Heights Public School, buses, Balgowlah Village shops, Forty Baskets Beach, all just metres away.
