Situated along a private driveway is a gracious tri-level 5 bedroom home that has fulfilled all the needs of a large family for 40 years. On 1,606sqm approx the house is surrounded by a beautiful garden filled with camellia, azalea, clivia, cyclamen, wattle, rosemary, lavender. Culinary delights have been concocted over the decades utilising the produce from it’s own herb and veggie patch and orange, mandarin, lemon and cumquat trees. The home has been the proud host of many fine parties for up to 100 people and the most treasured part of the home is the middle of the three levels where the kitchen and family room flow through French Provincial doors onto a mosaic sandstone flagged patio which captures the northeastern sun. Along the hallway, from the timber kitchen (with S/S gas cook top) are a large formal lounge room, dining room, sitting room, bathroom and entertainers balcony, all facing soothing leafy views. A level grassy area provides ample space for play and beyond this is a private mini forest. Upstairs are 2 master bedrooms each with their own WIRs, and three more large bedrooms and recently renovated bathroom. The lower level has imported Italian tiled floors and can be used as either a self-contained apartment with its own entrance and bathroom, or a rumpus room and workshop. There is plenty of storage throughout the home and ducted heating pipes are all in place ready for gas to replace the original diesel boiler. It is as quiet as can be, yet only a 5min walk to Warrawee station and Knox Grammar, and it’s only 35 mins by train to the city. In all this is quite the classic upper north shore family home in a prestige locale.
