5a Kitchener StreetBalgowlah

A lush private, on-title garden and the clever use of indoor and outdoor space makes this ground floor duplex feel like a family house. With multiple living areas, the proportions offered are a fabulous surprise. The lounge area homes a beautiful ornate gas fireplace and flows effortlessly through French doors to an expansive North facing terrace, capturing all day sun. The eat-in kitchen/dining room is generous and accommodates a transportable island bench allowing optimal convenience and versitility. The finishes are sleek and contemporary with CaesarStone bench tops, glass splash-backs, concealed cabinetry, European Smeg and Bosch appliances. Polished floors throughout and a neutral colour scheme create a flawless beach like feel. A bonus of the property is the separate flexible studio/family room with its own bathroom, which can also be used as additional accommodation or for a home business. This area has bi-fold doors opening to the superb deck with custom designed bench seats including storage, clever lighting and a retractable awning; this area is spacious and hugely practical for entertaining. A rarity with duplexes, the garden is separated, so this property has its own, private, on-title rear yard. A laundry and outdoor shed complement the outdoor area. There is also a single remote controlled lock up garage with additional storage space. Being only a five minute stroll to Stockland Balgowlah and on the CBD express bus route as well as the cycle-way to Manly, this property ticks all the boxes.
