Capturing awe-inspiring views across the waters to South Head, and with graceful period highlights and an architectural form reminiscent of the P & O style, this is an elegant home rich in character and brimming with family appeal.
High ceilings, plantation shutters and timber floorboards create the perfect contemporary canvas, and stained glass windows add grace and class to the equation.
Very generous double-sized bedrooms swim in natural light and the master cleverly utilizes understair space as a robe while receiving glorious sunshine through the semicircular bay of windows.
The second and third bedrooms provide further spacious accommodation, equipped with built-in robes. Nearby, the family bathroom and separate WC are bedecked with deco glass tiling that is back in vogue.
Stepping down the hall, the home’s heart is reached: a new open kitchen fitted out with creamy stone benchtops and a magnificent, freestanding Ilve gas stove and oven. An island bench makes for breezy breakfasts while the adjoining dining room is ideal for both relaxed family mealtimes and more formal dinner parties.
Casual recreation is on the menu in the large family room, a ceiling fan and an abundance of natural light. A combined bathroom and laundry plus WC service this zone, while the adjoining yard provides for fabulous outdoor living, al fresco meals and playtime with a covered patio and fenced lawns.
Upstairs, it’s in the sprawling formal lounge and the exquisite outlook steals the show. From the semicircular bay windows through to sunroom, the captivating water views extend from Middle Harbour in the foreground, across to South Head in the distance, inviting long afternoons of entertaining or quiet sanctuary in this inviting room, soaking up the scene. With opportunity to add further value and fully capitalise on this prime position, there is scope to extend the upper level with additional accommodation if desired.
An impressive list of appointments complete the home, including ducted vacuuming, multiple gas outlets and lockup garage plus carport and additional off-street parking. Meanwhile, a sensational lifestyle location caters to the whole family. Balgowlah Heights Primary School is within walking distance, as is the village vibe played out at the local Balgowlah Heights Shops, while the daily commute begins on an express city bus a few metres from your door.
