You would be hard pressed to find an entry-level property of this size with both gorgeous traditional features - including exquisite cornices, timber floors and stained glass – and the space and opportunity to create your dream home. This wonderfully central property is perfectly positioned for family life. Wander down to The Barn for a coffee or brunch after an early morning surf or Nippers - the beach is only 8 minutes away!

There are schools aplenty within a few minutes drive including the Merewether High selective academic school and several public and Catholic high schools. There is also a range of lovely public and Catholic primary that you could easily walk or scoot to with the kids each morning for drop off. In the afternoon perch yourself on on the front porch overlooking the big front garden and watch the sun set or head to the backyard – your own piece of paradise.
