* Move straight into this stylishly renovated upper duplex that offers convenient access to coastal living with the added bonus of off-street parking. This home, with its beautiful period features, offers a surprising high level of privacy and serenity.

* Screened from the road by private gates, the attractive faade of this period red brick duplex gives a taste of things to come. Access via the left hand stairway leads you into a light-filled interior that has undergone a thoroughly contemporary upgrade. Skylights have been introduced so that the very most is made of natural sunlight and the home has had double glazing for that peaceful sound proof setting.

* Whilst beautiful lead light window features have been retained and accentuated by their pristine white painted surrounds, the chic modern eat-in gas kitchen, with its clear glass splashback and soft close drawers, has a superb bi-fold window that can be fully drawn back to afford an uninterrupted view of blue sky and tree tops on a clear day.

* Through the kitchen there is fully integrated appliances and also access to an alfresco entertaining/relaxation deck that enjoys a sunny northerly aspect, retractable awning and stairs that lead down to the communal rear garden and laundry.

* The main living area has a stunning original fireplace with deep mantel. With polished wood floors throughout, this home has a warm open plan ambience and ducted reverse cycle air conditioning has been installed to ensure that no matter the season there will be year round comfort.

* This home has traditional high ceilings that are edged with decorative cornices and the bedrooms have period style picture rails. Both bedrooms have ample storage with built-in wardrobes and the master has dual access to the sunroom which is currently being utilised as a stylish home office or could be a nursery.

* Immaculate presentation can be found throughout, including the contemporary bathroom with overhead shower and a traditional tile format.

* Additional features include white plantation shutters and a private lock up garage. With immediate access to city transport and an easy walk down to Manly this property would be perfect for executive professionals and those looking to make a solid investment.
