THE DEAL
Placed on the fringe of the exclusive Collaroy Basin within footsteps of the iconic Upper Crust Bakery, cafes, tennis courts, Long Reef Golf Course and parkland surrounding Long Reef Headland, with vibrant seaside eateries, Collaroy Beach and B-Line city buses around a five minute stroll down the road, living in the gorgeous early 1900s ‘Long Reef’ is like experiencing a dream-like coastal resort-style holiday … every day.
Step through the front gate into a private lawn framed by a sea of frangipanis, and onto a timber-posted return verandah propped in front of a weatherboard façade detailed with leadlight windows. Beyond a grand entrance foyer, the residence features a living space with a cosy fireplace and a dining room housed under a soaring glass atrium, while a family room and a stone and gas kitchen combine to form the social centrepiece with easy flow to a wide bullnose verandah overlooking the rear garden.
Graced with timber flooring, plantation shutters and sandstock brick feature walls, its flexible layout features a media room, a glass-embraced sunroom or home office with private access to the front garden, three generous bedrooms with built-ins plus an absolutely enormous fourth bedroom or family room. The modern bathrooms include a deep spa bath, and the property includes several air conditioning units, a three-car lock-up garage and secure off-street parking.
Placed on 696sqm of near level land with the paved sun-drenched rear gardens and palms, frangipanis and a mango tree surrounding a sparkling in-ground pool, it offers the option to move straight on, refresh or create a bespoke designer beach house in an unbeatable lifestyle address with select schools and Dee Why Town Centre only a short breath away and the picturesque Fishermans Beach and headland trail just a short shuffle away.
