An enchanting early 1900s bungalow adorned with exquisite period detailing provides idyllic foundations to create an elegant and stylish family sanctuary (STCA) in a premier, whisper-quiet leafy street just around the corner from cosmopolitan Balgowlah Village. Reconfigured for modern family living, it features spacious open-floor living and dining areas, a tidy open-plan kitchen, an updated full bathroom and seamless flow to a covered entertainers' terrace overlooking the backyard. Comfortable as is, it also presents outstanding scope to further enhance, renovate or capitalise with a second-storey addition (STCA). Set on a premium 413sqm parcel with a sunny front verandah and a deep near-level rear lawn embraced by beautifully established landscaped gardens, it is only a two-minute stroll to vibrant village shops, cafés, restaurants and bus services to just about everywhere, with Manly Beach, schools, harbour foreshore walks and the Sydney CBD all within easy reach.
