* An immaculate street presence showcasing stunning period style and a deep level block with north along its longest side should be enough to get many local families interested in this stylishly refurbished bungalow.

* Add in a rambling family-friendly layout, a quiet, tightly-held street just above North Harbour Reserve, multiple living areas, double bedrooms and an opened out family room that adjoins a wraparound veranda and you have the quintessential northern beaches abode.

* Generous proportions, including soaring ceilings and unique timber detailing are handsomely partnered by dark polished floors and a clean white colour scheme throughout.

* Entry is to a large entry hall with the master bedroom to the right and a second double bedroom to the left.

* The master bedroom has built-ins and a window seat overlooking the large enclosed yard at the front of the property.

* The master is adjoined by a generous sunroom, (possible 5th bedroom/study) which then adjoins a gorgeous formal lounge with original hearth, timber detailing and leadlight doors.

* A large family bathroom has been tastefully refurbished in period style and there is a second shower/toilet off the laundry room.

* The eastern wing of the home houses third and fourth bedrooms, (the fourth built up in the roof gables) plus updated living areas including a CaesarStone kitchen that steps down to a spacious open plan living/dining with wraparound bi-folding doors to the veranda, backyard and alfresco dining area.

* Modern while still sympathetic to the period ambience, the living areas feature a soaring cathedral ceiling with clerestory windows and federation-style bi-folding doors.

* There is also a large family laundry room with bench and storage space, understair storage plus garden storage and clothesline area concealed behind a timber gate.

* Positioned on the high eastern side of Balgowlah, it is just a short stroll to 40 Baskets Beach, Balgowlah Village, North Harbour Reserve plus a five minute drive to Manly, beaches and The Corso.
