4 Gilderthorpe Avenue, Randwick

The gorgeous facade and leafy village setting of this Federation semi make a lasting first impression but it's the private garden oasis at the rear and sunny disposition that make the family classic such a great place to live. Set on a north-east facing block in a family friendly pocket of Randwick North, just a 5-minute walk from Queens Park and Centennial Park, the three-bedroom home has been tastefully renovated allowing the original period features to shine with a fluid layout from front to back that invites relaxation. Beautifully proportioned interiors are enhanced by original timber floors, 3.2m high ceilings and leadlight windows with separate living and bedroom zones as well as a skylit attic retreat ideal as a work-from-home space or playroom. With a cafe on the corner and great schools all around, this community minded neighbourhood is just 400m to Frenchmans Road village and local favourites including Merivale's The Dog and Bake Bar with easy access to the surf at Bronte or the sheltered waters of Clovelly Beach. 6.4m frontage with a sunny tessellated tile verandahWide hallway, original/rimu polished hardwood floorboards3 double bedrooms all with robes and ornate ceilingsLarge main bed with a wall of custom built-in robes Bright open plan rear with an indoor/outdoor flowLiving room with custom cabinetry, reverse cycle airDining opens via bi-folds to a wraparound deck Established private garden with a jasmine-framed lawnSkylit Caesarstone island kitchen, Miele gas cooker 2 bathrooms, the main with a cast iron clawfoot bathSkylit attic retreat (ladder access), huge attic storage Large internal laundry and masses of built-in storage Outdoor lighting and drip irrigations, gas bbq bayonetScope to add a 2nd storey STCA, secure side access Randwick Public School catchment, 450m to Queens Park
