Lovingly held by the one family for over 80 years, this original c1920′s weatherboard holiday cottage has been transformed into a sumptuous family haven of substance and elegance. This huge home offers potential for dual family and versatile living.

Beyond the gorgeous timber paneled and shingled faade, the residence retains its integrity via soaring rosette ceilings, leadlight windows, timber flooring and elaborate bay window seating.

Reconfigured and extended with a fluid yet versatile layout and tastefully updated throughout, it is embraced by near level child-safe grounds and enchanting landscaped gardens.

Enter via a formal central entrance hall and make your way past a large north east sunroom/home office to the generous living space warmed by a cosy fireplace with sandstone surround.

At the rear of the residence a sleek CaesarStone kitchen with breakfast bar, gas cooktops plus integrated dishwasher, adjoins a large dining room that opens to a covered timber posted entertainers’ deck overlooking the gardens.

There’s a family room upstairs that opens to a verandah with far reaching district views, six spacious bedrooms (two with built-ins) and the bathrooms are all finished in modern themes.

Additional features include a tandem lock-up garage with additional off street parking, ducted air conditioning upstairs plus a pond and waterfall in the rear garden. Nestled in a premier quiet tree-lined street, it is only a short stroll to Manly West Primary School and buses to the wharf and city and only minutes to Balgowlah village and Manly’s beaches, wharf and cosmopolitan eateries.
