It’s obvious from the minute you enter this engaging home that it has been cherished with meticulous care. In near-pristine original condition, its double-brick foundations and sturdy interiors are a testament to the enduring quality and workmanship of the mid-century era.

Positioned to capture gorgeous north-easterly light, the living zones are reminiscent of traditional family spaces: large and welcoming, with an additional luminous sunroom offering even further family recreational space. The dining zone adjoins the kitchen, with home-cooked fare delivered to the hungry hordes through an original swing door with glass porthole.

Two of the bedrooms supply built-in robes, and the family bathroom’s generous proportions allow for a separate shower and bath, resplendent with vintage tiling and pedestal basin.

The bright and level backyard offers ample room for children’s play, outdoor entertaining and year round enjoyment, with scope to tailor according to the family’s habits. Meanwhile, a tandem double garage provides plenty of storage space for the bikes and boards that will be in constant use in this lifestyle locality.

In a quiet but pivotal street, the home accesses cafes, parklands, Balgowlah Village shops, preschools and Manly West Primary School on foot, with frequent city transport on nearby Sydney Road. A little further afield and the delights of Manly are at the ready for a holiday-style existence, cementing the home’s appeal as an idyllic family base.
