Extraordinarily special, rare and unique, this 1890′s sandstone cottage captures all the charm of a country homestead, private and peaceful on level parklike grounds of 689sqm approx, providing an idyllic family lifestyle with modern appointments adding to historic charm.

Perched high and sheltered from the street on fully fenced grounds, feel like you’re worlds away from the hustle and bustle of this central suburb and yet only footsteps from shops, cafes, coveted schools, city buses, Warringah Mall and Brookvale Oval.

Surrounded in sprawling level lawns and lush established gardens, this child-friendly retreat is so warm and welcoming with a spacious floor plan extending seamlessly through French doors to a wraparound undercover verandah taking in the north sun.

Neutral interiors continue throughout complementing beautifully maintained original features in tall decorative ceilings, picture rails, traditional timber windows, leadlight detailing, panelled walls and ceilings and wide character-rich hardwood floors.

Warmed by one of two original cast-iron fireplaces, multiple living areas cater to entertaining and relaxation with great flexibility to add a grand piano or a study alcove to the beyond generous proportions of an open-plan family room and a separate dining.

Infused with a chic country charm, a spacious centrally located kitchen showcases timber bench tops, stainless steel appliances including a gas stove and all the benefits of a long eat-in breakfast bar.

In a highly versatile configuration perfectly suited to a range of lifestyles and needs, 4 large bedrooms provide for generous accommodations with mirror built-in robes in 3. An oversized ensuite features in a master, while a private top floor retreat with leafy district views offers even greater flexibility.

With perfectly placed skylights throughout, a large main bathroom pays great homage to its original heritage, showcasing a marble vanity, traditional freestanding bath, overhead shower and fantastic built-in storage.
Additional features include a separate laundry, modern lighting, air conditioning, gas connections, a large double carport and easily accessible expansive storage.
