Last Listing description (June 2016)

This truly is a home that is very hard to find fault with.
It is set in a location that leaves others for dead, being close to the action, yet quiet, with views, yet set on a dead flat block, in a level street instead of being high set on a hill on a sloping site, a long steep walk away from everything!
This residence oozes personality and it not only looks amazing, but it performs amazingly well too.
Its magazine good looks perfectly combine with practical everyday, mostly ground floor living to create an enduring design that will serve you fabulously well, decade after decade.
Parents with young families can be on the lower level altogether with guest accommodation up top.
While families with teenagers can escape them by heading upstairs.
Once you're grandparents or God forbid your knees or hips go, then you can come full circle and head back downstairs and the grandchildren or the kids can stay up top when they come to visit.
Next door recently sold upwards of $800,000 to a lovely Sydney couple. However, it doesn't offer anywhere near the volume of garaging, nor the covered outdoor entertaining that this home does.
.... It also has a lot more stairs to contend with on an, all day/everyday basis, where this one doesn't, but it's owners are delightful and like the other side, make for great neighbours.
Having just sold a far smaller, but very neat, 1 level home, just 3 along from this one for $560,000 to another lovely Sydney couple, it's hard to see you being able to extend up and out and also gut and fully renovate for less than the asking price of this home, making it excellent value buying as well.....
.... and really who has the time or the inclination to launch themselves into major renovations and full on extensions these days ....
... Especially, when instead You could be kicking back at the beach next summer or deck-side this weekend cosying up to your patio burner with friends and a great red!
One terrific thing all 3 homes have in common though is that they boast the perfect rear aspect.
All of their backyards, pools and outdoor living, along with much of their indoor living looks out to the ocean and the North East, meaning they make the most of both warm winter sun and cool summer breezes, also ensuring they enjoy far greater privacy than homes that have to look across a street or road to enjoy their beach and ocean views, sun and breezes.
Versatile, value for money, picturesque, practical & located in an enviable setting, what more could you ask for?
Private inspections are welcome with a little prior notice & open houses will be conducted on the first Saturday of every month with the exception of the 4th of July sorry ......
