As an exquisite collaboration of old and new, contemporary design and worldly period charm illuminate this 1920′s Federation Semi. Set on an oversized level block in a tightly held street, enjoy short strolls to village shops and city buses as well as Balgowlah Stocklands, Balgowlah North Public School and North Harbour Reserve.

Refreshed interiors in modern colours invigorate original period details in character-rich timber floors, tall decorative ceilings with antique pendant lights, picture rails, high skirtings and beautiful leadlight windows.

Boasting generous proportions fit for an entertainer, a light and bright open-plan kitchen and living transcend as an extension of space onto a large undercover entertaining terrace. Perfect for year round BBQs and alfresco dining, this light-filled sanctuary resides in a private child-friendly backyard of vast level lawns and lush leafy hedges soaking up a desirable northeast aspect.

Resident chefs will be right at home in the custom designed contemporary kitchen. Meticulously renovated with Caesarstone bench tops, glass splashbacks and stainless steel appliances including an integrated drawer dishwasher, it also features a filtered water tap and smart storage in soft-close cabinetry.

Exuding sophistication with an original brick fireplace, a separate dining offers great versatility with additional space to relax and unwind or host the most gregarious of dinner parties.

A large master bedroom is the very picture of comfortable accommodations with French doors leading to an adjoining sunroom, perfect as a dedicated home office, nursery or a private retreat to snuggle up with a good book. A generous second bedroom shares the same leafy outlooks, conveniently located to a modern main bathroom with full-length bath, overhead shower and frameless glass recess.

With all the benefits of a big open foyer and a wide hallway, this well-insulated solid construction caters to an easy-care lifestyle complete with off-street parking for 2, an internal laundry with powder room facilities.

With scope to add an upper level and extend into a family home (STCA), additional features include expansive attic and subfloor storage space, Foxtel, quality blinds including plantation shutters, skylights, automatic hot water and gas fittings.
