Described by the owner as her 'peaceful abode', this gorgeous character home offers enviable, low-footprint lifestyle moments from the river, ocean and vibrant Glyde Street precinct. Deceptively spacious, the appealing double-storey residence includes five bedrooms, three bathrooms and multiple internal living areas - all of which benefit from ample natural light and refreshing sea breezes. Renovations undertaken in 1995 include a large rear extension with a kitchen, dining and living zone, and a second storey with three bedrooms, including a main suite with a walk-in robe and private bathroom. There's room for everyone to enjoy time together - and apart when required! A bonus with this superb property is the R-AC3 zoning. The front lounge room on the lower level has a separate entrance from the north-facing front porch, making it an ideal option for a home office or consulting room. A further bonus is the two lock-up carports, one on Stuart Street and the other accessed from the rear laneway, which also features a storage room large enough to house your bikes and longboards. From this private family sanctuary, you'll enjoy the convenience of living steps from local supermarkets, including Coles and Mosman Fresh IGA, Iona and St Hilda's Colleges, Cottesloe Primary School and a host of local cafes and restaurants. The shores of South Cottesloe Beach are just a kilometre from your front door (or rear gate) with Mosman Park Train Station at the end of your street, you'll have even less use for your car!
