* Offering a blue ribbon address in a tightly-held street, this substantial full brick family home with in-ground pool is now being offered for the first time in 50 years. Beautifully kept and offering some modern updates throughout, it features a wonderfully private backyard oasis that opens directly to the bush reserve adjoining Tania Park.

* Benefitting enormously from an elevated setting back from the street, there is also a private front yard plus deep district views from the front terrace.

* A fabulous family home as is, it also offers an amazing opportunity to fully capitalise on the premium address and ideal family-friendly location by adding a level (STCA) and creating a dream home to your own personal taste.

* Multiple living areas include a formal living and dining area with polished timber floors that adjoins a spacious family kitchen with breakfast nook. Toward the rear of the home, two more casual living areas gather around the backyard where a large in-ground pool, alfresco dining terrace and level lawn all complete the family wish list.

* The casual living areas include an observatory-style dining/family room and a further living area with internal spa, both overlooking the pool, plus an underhouse area (ideal teen retreat / rumpus room) currently serving as a games room.

* Accommodation has been perfectly zoned separately from the living, with three bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, with the rear living offering the versatility to utilise as a 4th bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom.

* There is also a laundry room with additional shower and an oversized lock-up garage with masses of additional storage. Perfectly situated, it is just minutes from Balgowlah Heights cafes and delis, Stockland Village, and cosmopolitan Manly, and express city buses are available at the end of the street.

* Presenting a flexible layout to suit a wide array of family needs, this beautifully kept home presents a rare opportunity to buy into one of the area’s best streets. And with immediate access to Sydney Harbour National Park and directly adjoining Tania Park, a weekend stroll through bushland to pristine harbour beaches and Manly affords the opportunity for an idyllic lifestyle.

* Steve Lambley and Georgi Coward at Cunninghams Property are proud to present this remarkable home for your inspection.
