42 Stone Parade, Davidson is proudly presented by Helen Gardiner and Barry Devine of Ray White Forst Group.

This is no overnight renovation rescue more than a year was spent transforming what was a typical suburban home into something special. Add to this a truly amazing location with the unspoiled outlook of Garigal National Park at your back door, and the convenience of shops, schools and public transport nearby.

There is, however, one major problem with this property. It is almost impossible not to imagine yourself relaxing on the built-in day bed on the private upper deck as you look out over the expanse of peaceful bush land, or cooling off in the wet-edge pool, or simply enjoying all the stylish features of this home. And this makes it very hard to leave without wanting to come straight back with all your furniture and move in. So be prepared to fall in love!

You can get a glimpse that this home is something special from the street. A pitched roof dominates the front, which has been rendered and refinished with Stack Stone feature walls. Access to the carport is at street level, meaning easy access, and there is a large secure storage area for bikes, surfboards and other garage stuff.

The front yard of the home is dominated by a newly installed deck, which has been built in to the existing rock faces. Easy care gardens, bench seats and a dining area provide a great winter haven.

The entry point of the home is the mid-level of three levels. To the left of the entry foyer is a sliding door leading to the casual family dining room and modern Caesar stone kitchen with gas cook top and plenty of storage. To the right of the entry is a queen-sized bedroom with new ensuite, huge built-in robe and reverse cycle air conditioning. This home is ideal for a guest room but could also be used for an additional bedroom or home office/study.

Also on this level is the formal dining room which has an impressive Stack Stone feature wall. Adjacent is the main lounge room which has a sliding door and windows that take full advantage of the bush view. The sliding door leads out to the large deck which can be covered by electronic awnings, or opened depending on the weather. At one end of the deck is the very inviting built-in day bed with room for two or even a couple more.

Stairs lead up to the top level and this is home to three more bedrooms, two with built-in robes and views. They share the main bathroom, which has been fully renovated and includes a separate spa bath.

Downstairs is a self-contained area that includes massive lounge/rumpus room opening out to a patio and rear yard, a queen-sized bedroom with built-in robe, full bathroom with separate toilet, laundry with external access and a kitchenette. This part of the home has private access from a gate at the entry level of the house and is ideal for extended family or to provide additional income.

Outside on the lower level is a delight a large grassed yard, wet-edge pebblecrete swimming pool and the amazing backdrop of Garigal National park will invite the young and the old into the great outdoors.

Other features of the home include raked cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, a mixture of polished floorboards and tiles, plantation shutters and timber venetian blinds.

Local primary and secondary high schools are nearby, along with a main shopping centre and community facilities, and public transport direct to the Sydney CBD.
