Space to Live, Work, Create and Grow.
Beyond its stunning heritage character and commanding corner position, this remarkable full brick residence offers a rare combination of period elegance, modern practicality and exceptional lifestyle flexibility.
Beautifully maintained and thoughtfully extended, the home is equally suited to growing families, multigenerational living, home-based professionals and those seeking space for hobbies, projects or secure storage. Soaring 3.1m ceilings, Baltic pine floors, ornate plasterwork, stained glass windows and original Carrara marble fireplaces celebrate the home's rich history, while a substantial double brick extension delivers the space and functionality expected by modern families.
The generous floorplan provides multiple living zones, including formal and informal living areas, a library, open-plan family and dining spaces, and flexible bedroom accommodation. At its heart is a handcrafted kitchen featuring Northern Rivers Blue Gum benchtops and a Falcon dual-fuel cooker, flowing seamlessly to expansive outdoor entertaining areas and the private rear garden.
A standout feature is the home's versatility. Near-level access to the main living floor, virtually level access from the rear yard and a secondary entrance via the traditional return verandah offer practical flexibility for families at every stage of life, including those operating a professional business from home.
The lower level provides a dedicated office, lockable workshop, cellar/storage room and an abundance of accessible storage rarely found in homes of this era. Vehicle access to the rear yard, together with extensive covered utility space, creates endless possibilities for tradespeople, hobbyists, collectors, restoration projects, trailers, small caravans, boats or simply keeping valuable equipment clean, dry and secure.
Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a covered entertaining deck overlooking the level backyard, established gardens and magnificent Horderns English Oak Tree. Beneath the deck, a substantial all-weather recreation area with concrete flooring provides valuable additional space for entertaining, children's play, fitness equipment, workshops or storage.
Positioned within the highly sought-after Hornsby North Public School catchment and moments from transport, Westfield Hornsby and many of Sydney's leading independent and selective schools, this is a rare opportunity to secure a character home that combines beauty, practicality and extraordinary lifestyle flexibility.
