In the same family for over 50 years, this modernised full brick residence offers traditional quality and comfort with room to update for contemporary indoor/outdoor lifestyle in this premium position. Set on a 710sqm block with the ideal North-to-rear aspect, this family favourite is moments to Glenaeon School, buses and waterfront parkland, a few minutes walk to cafes, boutiques, restaurants and the Quadrangle shopping centre, with easy access to Chatswood and the City.

The solid 1950s home retains the high corniced ceilings and generous proportions of an earlier era, lovingly maintained and extended over the years to create spacious family living. The classic double lounge and dining with feature fireplace is light and elegant with picture windows framing garden vistas and french doors to the North-facing entertaining terrace and colourful low maintenance gardens. The modern kitchen with butlers pantry, spacious casual living with slate-tiled floors and RC/AC and master or guest suite with adjacent fully-tiled bathroom all open to the sunsoaked terrace, deck and gardens. On the upper level are three bedrooms with built-ins, some with attractive district views, plus tidy original bathroom with bath and separate shower.

Set back from the street behind camellia hedges and manicured lawns, the property has paved driveway parking and lock-up garage with rear roller door to additional parking/storage. The established rear gardens are ablaze with flowering trees and shrubs, with paved pergola-covered terrace, shed and access to a large underhouse workshop and laundry.
