Hidden away from the street, this enchanting home enjoys a rare sense of seclusion and abundant natural light. The discreet front gate opens to stairs leading down to the garden, where the sparkling pool, child-friendly lawn and the entertainers’ terrace are revealed. Both levels of the home catch a glimpse of the ocean, and entry level provides a generous family/dining area with an easy outdoor connection.

A separate lounge combines with the sunroom to create a space of immense flexibility. Currently used as a library and study, it creates an ideal option for working from home, learning an instrument, or simply taking some quiet time. Beside it is the fourth bedroom, which might also be used for one of these purposes, or as a guest room. The upstairs bedrooms are all spacious, and feature two that offer walk-in robes and additional storage. Tightly held for 28 years, this home is well presented with bathrooms and the kitchen all updated in the last 8 years and is appointed with gas cooking and air conditioning.

This is an idyllic place to call come, set just 180m from shops and cafes along New South Head Road. Take a stroll along the cliffs to Christensen Park and The Grumpy Baker, or catch a bus to Watson’s Bay, Bondi Beach or Bondi Junction. Vaucluse Public School is just five minutes’ drive away, while Kambala and Kincoppal-Rose Bay are even closer.
