26 Nolan Place, Balgowlah Heights, NSW, 2093, Australia

Sitting within a coveted pocket of this exclusive suburb, just footsteps to Tania Park, this single-level, full brick family residence exudes a sophisticated charm that is hard to resist.

Although in mint condition, there's clear potential to remodel and update the current layout, or even build up a level (STCA) to take advantage of the incredible views that sweep over the district and North Harbour. Solid brick construction and the perfect rear north-facing aspect give you the ideal canvas with which to mould your 'forever home'.

Decorative leadlight doors welcome you into a long hallway that divides living from bedrooms. With high ceilings, polished hardwood floors and a gas fire with sandstone detailing, the lounge flows smoothly into dining, where two beautiful big bay windows frame picturesque and leafy views of the front and rear gardens.

From the spacious, centrally-placed kitchen, step out to an undercover entertainer's deck, which is the perfect spot for lazy afternoons with friends and family – grazing, chatting and watching the kids as they play in the garden.

Each of the generous bedrooms are equipped with built-ins and new carpet, while an impeccably kept original bathroom features a bath and separate shower.

A versatile rumpus room could easily act as a fourth bedroom. And the double garage has extra storage space for all of the gear that comes as part of busy family life.

Surrounded by natural beauty, yet within easy striking distance of Manly, this is a fabulous area for families, with excellent schools, Tania Park, Forty Baskets Beach, North Harbour Reserve, public transport and shops all within walking distance.
