Beyond its picturesque tuck-pointed facade this charming free-standing character home is an unexpectedly expansive haven, ideal for buyers with young families with an eye to upsizing from an apartment or townhouse and plenty of room to move, including a secure rear garden.

Set in a popular street close to both the cosmopolitan buzz of the Great North Road cafe/restaurant strip, foreshore attractions of Canada Bay and transport, this lovely property boasts the rare and major advantage of a lock-up garage, as well as security intercom.

Much of the immaculately retained period charm includes original floors, patterned ceilings, picture rails and tessellated tiles.

Accommodation comprises two double bedrooms with built-ins, formal lounge with fireplace, stylishly equipped kitchen with stone bench tops and quality range, open plan dining area, both with marble tiles, retro bathroom and sunroom overlooking garden.

There’s still plenty of opportunity for further enhancement.
