A Tranquil Family Haven With A Heritage Soul, Sunny Corner Block In A Tightly Held Pocket
Framed by established native gardens on a sunny corner block in one of Botany's most desirable pockets, this double-fronted weatherboard home blends enduring charm with a wonderfully flexible family layout. A wraparound balcony and dual street frontage create immediate street appeal, while pressed metal ceilings, wide Kauri floorboards and ornate fireplaces serve as a reminder of the past and as testament to the quality of the build. On a private 446sqm approx with oversized garaging via Hastings Street, the two-storey residence is thoughtfully configured for contemporary living with a series of tranquil alfresco zones providing space to relax, entertain or soak up the sunshine. Essentially conceived as its own private domain, the 60sqm approx upper level is dedicated to a parents' retreat complete with a sun terrace, sitting room and study. In a bayside suburb on the rise, the location is ideal for families, with an emerging foodie scene, recreational parkland and easy access to great schools and beaches, offering a compelling alternative to neighbouring Malabar and Maroubra. Just one block back from Botany Town Hall, it's an easy stroll to Slow Lane Brewing, Capanno Trattoria and St Bernard's Catholic Primary.
