FIND. Flawlessly designed and built to the highest of standards, this home is only ten years old and finished with finesse. Entering through the front gate and past the manicured gardens, you are greeted with a gorgeous façade in a calming colour palette. As you make your way down the hall, it becomes apparent that this home is deceptively grand in scale. The early 1900's period details add character from the moment you arrive, with stained glass and ornate woodwork on the exterior, and ceiling roses, detailed cornices, and high skirtings throughout the interior. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms placed over three of the four levels, this elegant home is a spacious, private, and a luxurious family sanctuary.

LOVE. Designed with the entertainer in mind, this home is centred around the kitchen, living and dining hub that flows seamlessly out through the bi-fold doors to the decked entertaining space. Added features such as custom-built joinery, a comfy bench seat and retractable awning, this space is primed for summer barbecues. With a north to rear aspect, this home is positioned to capture streams of natural light on every level. The established gardens include a large frangipani tree as the magnificent centrepiece and hedging to frame the yard and create a peaceful and calming haven for the whole family.

WHAT THE OWNER LOVES:
- The location! Close the front door and pause – it's so quiet! – you would never know you were on Sydney Rd with the express busses to the city stopping literally across the road. Super convenient to great coffee, fabulous haircuts and a short walk to the beach (15 minutes walk to Manly), the location is awesome.
- The sunshine! Northfacing, the house is warm in winter, and properly insulated, it's cool in summer. Curling up with a book (or doing a meeting from the couch) during the day is just gorgeous.
- The quality! Ben built this house to live in, and it shows. It's only 10 years old, but built with a commitment to quality that you just don't see in new houses these days. Beautiful features, big rooms, great layout. No damp or leaks here
