Retaining its original coastal charm throughout an inspiring architectural reimagining, this enhanced weatherboard bungalow is one of a kind. With soaring raked ceilings and an extensive use of glass accentuating space and light, it features an open plan retro-style kitchen at the heart of the home, a generous living and dining space, a family room or fourth bedroom, and easy flow to the rear garden or a sun-drenched entertainers’ terrace with leaf-filtered district vistas. Perched on the high side of the street on 683sqm of beautifully landscaped gardens flanked by a leafy reserve, its tranquil setting is within a short stroll of North Harbour Reserve, Balgowlah Heights Public School and picturesque Tania Park.
