Offered for the first time in 35 years, this much-loved family home has many qualities the canny Avalon buyer is desperately seeking.
Take the sun-soaked position on a quiet, foliage-lined backstreet. The easy, level walk to Avalon's many attractions, including schools, library, restaurants and shops. Or the highly desirable location between the surf beaches of Avalon and Bilgola to the east and the Pittwater's boating charms of Clareville to the west.
A well-maintained, single-level weatherboard cottage, offering endless possibilities - not least because it sits on a large 851sqm block. From the road, the home is screened by a pretty, mature garden. A short flight of stone stairs leads to a large veranda - perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun with a good book and a cool drink.
The front door opens onto an ample but cosy central lounge with wood-burning fire that adds a touch of magic to every winter. Three well-sized bedrooms and a recently renovated bathroom - complete with Roman-style sunken tiled bath - form the left wing of the house. To the right of the lounge, you will find a modern galley-style kitchen and a separate dining area, both with delightful garden views. Beyond the central lounge, there's another family zone that can serve as children's play space, home office, home gym, or morning sun room, whenever you are entertaining guests on the level access rear courtyard.
From here, a series of professionally landscaped lawns and terraces lead up a Cedar shed which, with just a little paint and a touch of imagination, could be easily converted into a tranquil artist's studio, writer's retreat or children's adventure cubby house.
Move in as is, and enjoy the lifestyle that has made Avalon famous. Or kick-start your imagination to reinvent the house for future generations. The choice is yours.
