Tucked away at the quiet end of centrally located Dalley St, this charming weatherboard home is tailor-made for the growing family. Framed by lush greenery, the faade is warm and inviting with double french doors opening the house to the private, enclosed north-facing front garden and filling the kitchen/living room with all-day sunshine.

Downstairs is bright and airy thanks to the high ceilings, polished floorboards, and multitude of windows and glass-paned doors. There’s a choice of two living areas with R/C air conditioning the largest opening out via french doors onto a generous entertainers’ deck with leafy, district outlook. With a gas fireplace, the second living area lends itself to a cosy sitting room, parents’ retreat or dining room. Two downstairs bedrooms and a full bathroom comfortably accommodate family and guests or a bedroom can be utilised as a study/home office. An internal laundry incorporates handy storage and has direct access to outside.

Two oversized bedrooms upstairs (both with built-ins) face north, one with a sunny window seat ideal for curling up with a book, and the second opening onto a picture-perfect verandah. The master retreat opens onto its own separate verandah with views to Manly and Fairlight and includes a wall of built-in storage. The large modern bathroom is flanked by double linen cupboards, providing even more storage.

With a substantial and flexible floor plan across two floors the home easily accommodates a growing or established family. Littlies will love adventures in the rambling gardens while teens and adults alike will be thrilled with the close proximity to beaches, shops, cafes and transport. With a family-friendly layout and flow that works across all ages, this is a home that will grow with its lucky owners.
