This much-loved home has undergone a clever renovation transforming it into a modern family entertainer with timeless appeal. Graced with high ceilings, detailed plasterwork, architraves and gorgeous lead glass windows, it elegantly combines all the allure of its era with stunning contemporary design. Along with a resort-style pool and afternoon drinks on the terrace, it’s an easy entertainer that the whole family will love.

The extensive floor plan is as versatile as it is functional, with a huge amount of space to accommodate large or growing families. The central living area has been designed with modern open plan living in mind, characterized by large light-filled spaces and an easy connection to the outdoors. Double French doors open onto the sunny terrace for relaxed poolside entertaining, and the easy care lawn provides plenty of room for the kids to play.

The three extra-large bedrooms downstairs provide more space for play or a quiet retreat from hectic family life. The rumpus room and adjoining sunroom is an additional casual living area with the flexibility to use it as a home office or handy guest accommodation.

Upstairs is reserved just for the parents and is definitely a master suite with all the trimmings. The generous bedroom includes an ensuite, wall to wall built-ins, a versatile study or nursery space, and features an eye-catching cathedral style ceiling that carries through to the adjoining balcony. A sunny retreat overlooking the pool and garden, it’s the perfect spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine as the sun goes down.

Located in the prized North Harbour pocket, the access to the water, beaches, and the national park is magnificent and so conveniently close by. City-bound buses leave from around the corner and excellent Balgowlah Heights Public School is the local catchment. With Manly but a few minutes’ drive down the road, this easy entertainer has it all.
