A very much loved home, with 3 generations of family living here, the owners are originally from Sydney and after holidaying locally for years and loving the Lakeside lifestyle, they chose to retire here, with their elderly mum in tow, she has the back room, with the mini sitting area & ensuite.

The owners' adult son has come home too and everyone has a bedroom and enjoys catch ups on the deck or in the pool, but an opportunity to head north, which would help their son with his travelling up and down the NSW coast for work beckons and so they are on the move, giving you a chance to move in and enjoy all that they have loved for many happy years here.

Affordable buying that offers a whole lot for your money, less than 60 minutes North of Hornsby and just minutes to the Pacific Highway and under 30 minutes to the M1, it's certainly got a whole lot to offer in terms of position and location as well as character and charm!
