Deceptively quiet, private and spacious, thoughtful contemporary design along with a practical indoor/outdoor layout enhance the classic 1920′s Federation appeal of this semi-detached family home, a solid double blue-brick construction extending over 2-storeys.

In an ultra-convenient location on the border of Fairlight and Balgowlah, stroll to village shops and cafes as well as Balgowlah Stocklands, Manly West Primary School, North Harbour Reserve, Fairlight Beach and scenic harbour walks with city buses just footsteps away.

Meticulously renovated and extended, skylights throughout illuminate fresh light-filled interiors with elaborate period features in tall decorative ceilings, character-rich timber floors, picture rails and stunning leadlight detailing.

An open-plan kitchen and family room extend to an enclosed backyard with completely level child-friendly lawns beyond a wraparound sandstone terrace welcoming alfresco entertaining.

With dining conveniently adjacent, a stylish Caesarstone kitchen with an eat-in island showcases sleek cabinetry and stainless steel appliances including a large chef-style 5-burner gas stove/oven and a double drawer dishwasher.

An original cast iron fireplace and French doors that lead out into the backyard adorn a formal lounge with additional space for the family provided in a generous separate study.

Further to a large top floor master bedroom with reverse-cycle air con are two additional bedrooms, all with generous built-in robes. Contemporary bathrooms with frameless glass showers feature on each level with a deep bath in the main and in the other, a European-style laundry with convenient access to an external clothesline.

Garnering great privacy with evergreen hedges and low-maintenance landscaped gardens at the front and rear, further features include a full-length undercover entry verandah, an off-street car space, full alarm system, attic storage and ceiling fans.

A must-see for families seeking absolute convenience in a spacious and contemporary character-filled home with nothing left to do but move in now. Contact Andrew Lutze or Ben Jones of Cunninghams Property for more information.
