An impressive combination of contemporary design and traditional period charm illuminate this stunning freestanding Federation cottage, meticulously renovated for a bright and airy indoor/outdoor lifestyle.

On a completely level block in a tightly held street, you’ll fall in love with this friendly neighbourhood and its short strolls to shops, cafes, Balgowlah Stocklands, sought after schools and city buses with North Harbour Reserve, Forty Baskets Beach and Manly just around the corner.

As a prelude to equally endearing interiors, this heritage-rich weatherboard wrapped in a picket fence has quite the street appeal as it opens onto a child-friendly oasis of level lawns, landscaped gardens and an expansive entertainer’s balcony.

Step inside where a dynamic single-level design blurs indoors with out, creating a relaxed vibe amongst the sophisticated surroundings of hardwood floors and high ceilings steeped in the original period detailing of decorative cornices, leadlight windows, tall skirtings and dormer style windows.

On fully fenced grounds, leave all the doors open and revel in a low-maintenance lifestyle where a large open-plan living, dining and kitchen seamlessly continue to an undercover alfresco terrace. With plenty of space for BBQs and gregarious dinners, this all-weather sanctuary is a bright and breezy extension of living.

Adjacent to a defined dining with plenty of space for a long 8-seater table, a designer gas kitchen showcases Caesarstone bench tops, quality stainless steel appliances, a double sink and sleek soft-close cabinetry in addition to a large pantry and a servery-style window to the terrace.

Further to a large master, 2 double bedrooms provide generous accommodations, all with mirror built-in robes and close proximity to a contemporary bathroom wrapped in floor-to-ceiling tiles with a frameless glass shower and a separate full-length bath.

A readymade home of quality finishes and workmanship, additional features include expansive storage facilities, a European-style internal laundry, ceiling fans, bespoke cabinetry and an off-street car space.
