Showcasing the very best of classic and contemporary style, this cleverly designed solid brick Federation home is as sympathetic to its classic 1920′s heritage, as it is attune to modern family living.
On fully fenced private premises with the prized rarity of secure off-street parking for two, enjoy the convenience of short walks to city buses, Fairlight shops, Balgowlah Stocklands, Manly West Primary School, ocean and harbour beaches and ferries in Manly’s CBD.
Contemporary inclusions enhance breathtaking period features in meticulously restored leadlight windows and doors, picture rails, fireplaces and tall decorative ceilings with elaborate cornices and stunning pendant lights. Gorgeous timber floors cascade from a dedicated foyer over a floor plan of generous proportions, flowing effortlessly to front and rear living and entertaining areas.
Adorned with an original cast iron fireplace, the long formal dining, which could be repurposed as a fourth bedroom, opens through French Doors onto a wonderfully private front courtyard. Framed in lush greenery, it connects via side access to the level lawn and alfresco areas of the north facing child-friendly backyard.
Exuding timeless sophistication, a newly renovated kitchen features stunning stone bench tops, integrated European stainless steel appliances, tile splashbacks and a recessed Franke sink. Easy care entertaining is guaranteed with a wide servery to the living providing streamlined access to an expansive north-facing covered deck with down lights, perfect for year round BBQs and alfresco dining.
All three double bedrooms feature plantation shutters and high quality carpets, with a BIR in one. The master features an original brick fireplace, opening through French doors onto a sunroom ideal as a study. With a bright restorative ambiance, both bathrooms feature skylights and frameless glass showers, with a fresh contemporary design in one and classic character-rich terrazzo tiling and a custom timber and marble vanity in the other.
A media/rumpus room provides extra space for the family to lounge in. With custom cabinetry, it has the contained-style features of a WC in a well-equipped laundry adjacent. Extensive storage facilities feature throughout in a walk-in cupboard and a substantial storeroom. Contact Andrew Lutze or Ben Jones of Cunninghams Property for more information.
