Elevated and nestled on approximately 733sqm, this solid family home offers scope to redecorate or extend (STCA), and add significant value in a popular coastal address. With updates in key areas, this spacious home includes a bright open living space, modern and well-equipped kitchen with gas stove, large dining room overlooking the vast outdoor entertaining area, double bedrooms, main with built-ins and a tidy main bathroom with separate shower and tub. Beyond an inviting façade enveloped in greenery and a kaleidoscope of colours, courtesy of beautifully landscaped gardens, this home retains its 1950's vintage via lofty ceilings, decorative cornices and timber flooring. The generous floor plan places sleeping sanctuaries to one side of the home and entertaining zones to the other. Flanked by the front terrace and flaunting huge proportions coupled with lusciously leafy views, a relaxed ambience is effortlessly achieved in the master bedroom, while the other two bedrooms are comfortable and private retreats. The perfect family-friendly flow is achieved thanks to the kitchen and dining area merging seamlessly out to the backyard, via French doors. With a clever and generous pergola, all year-round outdoor enjoyment is also on offer. But it's the surprise outdoor staircase leading to a hidden haven that will have you most excited. Here, a level lawn surrounded by established trees provides a second entertaining area as well as a great space for child's play. With the added benefit of a self-contained space housing the third bedroom, an abundance of under-house storage and a LUG, this home is a must inspect. In a desirable tranquil setting, you'll be a short stroll from Freshie Village via a cut through public walkway, Queenscliff Beach, Manly, city express buses and popular schools.
