Just a handful of homes in the street have 180 degree sweeps from Balmoral to the south, to Seaforth in the north, with a glorious expanse west across the Spit Bridge, taking in Beauty Point, Northbridge and Castlecrag, to the towering buildings of Chatswood. The sunsets are extraordinary.

19 Gordon St is a five double bedroom, three bathroom, two office dwelling, held by the one family for the past 46 years. With the addition of a second storey in 1991 and a further refurbishment a year ago, it is perfectly suited for the larger family, or a three generation family. Both levels take advantage of the views and are fully self-contained.

The main bedroom has a walk-in robe with ensuite. The upstairs bathroom is equipped with a large spa. A new kitchen was installed only recently.

Both levels take advantage of the views. Downstairs has a huge picture window in the lounge, and upstairs the lounge-dining area spills onto an eight feet, full width balcony which hosts regular NYE parties to witness the majesty of the sunset colour changes and the spectacular fireworks display.

The large, terraced rear garden could easily accommodate a pool and spa. Fresh eyes will recognise the enormous potential for improvement to the entertaining area.

The family requiring work-at-home and student facilities is perfectly catered for.

A modest modernisation would reward the new lord and lady with a mansion comparable to much more expensive homes close by.
