44 William Street, Double Bay

Freestanding in a prized street close to the water, this architect designed residence is within moments of everything Double Bay has to offer yet enjoys a distinct sense of peace and seclusion. The home is enhanced by a rear north aspect and captures brilliant natural light, with many rooms opening outdoors for private relaxation or entertaining. Generous interiors span three levels and feature open living with soaring ceilings, a stainless-steel gas kitchen with Euro appliances, a mezzanine-style second living area/media area and up to four bedrooms including one conveniently situated on the ground floor. The other bedrooms all provide built-ins, and each has its own balcony, along with an ensuite to the master. There's also a full main bathroom plus powder room and separate internal laundry. In addition to the three balconies, a lush courtyard garden at the rear will delight entertainers and comes complete with low maintenance decking and in-built bench seating. This is the perfect setting for kicking back on a sunny winter afternoon or enjoying a BBQ with the family on those warm summer evenings. Other qualities of this excellent home include a cosy wood burning fireplace and gas heating, abundant storage, multiple skylights and a gated entranceway with valuable lock-up garaging with remote control access. The property is set on a deep block, a level stroll to shops, cafes and express city buses, while waterfront parklands, the ferry wharf, marina, Redleaf Pool and Seven Shillings Beach are only moments away. Many prestigious schools, too, are within comfortable walking distance such as Double Bay Public, Cranbrook and Scots College. A highly desirable village retreat, the combination of space, lifestyle and location make this a superior choice for family buyers.
