Ideal for water sports enthusiasts or seekers of a sylvan setting, this welcoming family home with direct access to Middle Harbour, is set on 772sqm block and only 30 minutes from the City. Keep a dingy or kayak at the bottom of the garden, and with the public jetty in easy reach, its perfect for children learning to sail at the nearby Seaforth Moth Club.

With vehicular access via Lancaster Lane providing wonderful privacy, the offering of an additional frontage to Seaforth Crescent is a valuable opportunity to rebuild at a higher vantage point, further capitalizing on the views.

Like an extension of the landscape, the current residence is nestled amidst sandstone features and native vegetation, and uses timber detailing and abundant glass throughout to bring the outdoors in.

A lower level timber lined room opens to a tree lined patio and entertaining area with its own private entrance, offering flexibility as a fourth bedroom, rumpus, home office or guest / teenage retreat providing access to subfloor storage room, carpenters bench and wine racks. Upstairs, split-levels optimize the dreamy outlook. A sunken living room employs timber paneling, an open fire place and full length glass to create a cosy yet spacious family retreat, which spills through sliding doors to a charming timber deck, bringing a treetop ambience to alfresco meals and living. Additional A/C accommodates for those hot summer nights.

A kitchen in original condition is perfectly positioned alongside a large dining room, which connects to a side patio with wood BBQ. Set privately behind these living quarters are three large bedrooms with built-in robes, one with an ensuite and one with its own balcony and water vistas plus a family bathroom, and separate laundry provide a convenient utility zone.

Alternatively, the fabulous dimensions and extraordinary waterside positioning creates a supremely attractive canvas for a developer with vision. The imagination runs instantly to a stately home set on the most elevated position, with car access to Seaforth Crescent and limitless water and reserve scenery (STCA).

Adjoining Sangrado Park augments the tranquility of this secluded abode, yet for all the nature-inspired serenity, a hub of conveniences lies just around the corner with nearby Seaforth Village providing cafes and shops, while a selection of pristine beaches and multiple transport options to Manly and the CBD are within easy reach from this very special and unique location.
