Located midway between the City and Northern Beaches as well as just up the hill from Balmoral and walking distance to Bridgepoint and Mosman Junction this home is in the centre of the action. Whilst the convenience is a benefit, in summer there is traffic build up on the road out the front on sunny weekends and rush hour has its challenges but locals commented it was not a major issue. The property is located in a street of predominantly Federation houses and this property fits in perfectly with a picture perfect facade and flowering camelia hedge.
This house has obviously been home to numerous families over the years and whilst it feels lived in, this is not a negative as it has created great character and warmth. Having said that, the property presents as very neat, tidy and functional with new quality carpet laid upstairs. The upstairs layout includes 4 bedrooms with the main having an ensuite plus a full bathroom servicing the other 3 bedrooms with the bonus of ample storage and robes in all 4 bedrooms except 1.
The 5th bedroom is North facing on the ground level and is used as a study leading onto the front sunny verandah. The formal lounge is also sun-filled and of reasonable size. Of special note is the formal dining/reception room which due to its location and shape adds an extra dimension to the living area and is a unique feature rarely seen in houses of this style.
The garden highlight is a beautifully designed pool and surrounds which sits up high at the top of the garden to capture the sun. At time of viewing it was in full sunlight. A separate dining area features under the trees and makes for a delightful place to dine outside . However the garden does miss out on a level grass lawn.
Overall, this home is beautiful and large enough for a large family with many different living zones to allow separation if required. A free flowing floor design , the downstairs area feels large in size with a large window connecting the kitchen with the garden and more importantly for safety, in view of the pool area.
