Wake up to north facing district views over Dee Why and beyond from this elevated and substantial family home. Only metres walk to city transport it is a sanctuary of quiet and peaceful living space.

Held by the same family for more than 30 years, this solidly built brick home is conveniently located close to transport, schools, shops and beaches. Facing due north it enjoys sun all day, shelter from the south and views of the district.

The large living area opens to an expansive wrap around balcony and is ideal for entertaining. There are three generous bedrooms with an ensuite to the main. The open plan study off the living room could double as a family room. A detached oversized fully lined three car brick garage and workshop has an adjacent parking area for another four to six cars which could suit a variety of uses including trades.

Generously proportioned and solidly built, the home is now ready for a new breath of life. Although completely liveable as is, it would benefit from simple cosmetic improvements or an imaginative renovation to bring it into the 21st Century.
