Offered for the first time in 33 years and with just 3 owners since its construction in the 1930s, this beloved family home offers character and quality seldom found.

Surrounded by some of the suburb's best Real Estate, the home enjoys an exclusive East side address just a few minutes' walk from Gordon rail station (one of the few North Shore stations with a lift and an overhead booking office) and bus interchange, shops, cafes and restaurants, Ravenswood School and parks and recreation facilities. Killara High School and Gordon East Public School catchments.

The house includes charming original features such as tallow wood floors and lead light windows and its character is reflected in the grand formal rooms with high ceilings and open fire. Casual dining and living rooms are filled with natural light from wall to wall double windows and adjoin a modern, gas kitchen with Miele/Bosch appliances that overlooks the picturesque garden. An elevated, north facing verandah provides the perfect spot to enjoy the sun and appreciate the peaceful surrounds and leafy outlook. The ample family accommodation consists of 5 bedrooms plus a separate study and two bathrooms with an additional WC off the laundry. There is excellent storage throughout the house, in the oversize lock-up garage and in the sub-floor - an ideal space for a potential wine cellar.

Magnificent, established, Annie Wilkes designed gardens surround the home offering privacy and abundant space for grand, outdoor entertaining or quiet reflection. An elevated, full-size, North/South tennis court completes the block of over 1,400 sqm.
