Adored by the same owners for over 40 years, it’s easy to see why this beloved family home has been so tightly held. It occupies a 575sqm parcel near parks and riverside bushwalking tracks and is set amidst beautifully landscaped native gardens. From its tranquil leafy surrounds to its original charm and character, this residence is a work of art inside and out. Enjoying an elevated position, it flows over three levels with an emphasis on versatile sun-drenched family living and entertaining and accommodation for multiple generations. The ground level is self-contained and ideal for in-laws, young adults, nannies or guests. The middle level enjoys vast indoor/outdoor entertaining with a prized north aspect. The entire top level is a parents’ retreat with so much space it’s like a New York loft-style apartment. Convenient to urban attractions and yet so peaceful and private it feels a world away, it’s handy to local parks and eateries, about 3km to Lane Cove village shops, supermarkets, cafes and restaurants and about 4km to the world-class shopping, dining and entertainment of Chatswood. It’s also within the Mowbray Public and Chatswood High school catchment.
