This property is a rare, character-filled, nature-connected home that gives professional couples, downsizers and small families the lifestyle of a house-with two car spaces, private courtyards, leafy outlooks and excellent transport access-without leaving Macquarie Park.
Tucked away within the peaceful and beautifully established Chorley Wood, this distinctive two-bedroom townhouse offers something increasingly difficult to find in Macquarie Park - privacy, character, outdoor space and a genuine connection with nature, combined with exceptional city convenience.
Behind the private entrance, a magnificent paperbark tree immediately sets the tone. Instead of the typical apartment lifestyle, you arrive home to your own leafy sanctuary, with sunny front and rear courtyards, established gardens and a tranquil outlook that makes the home feel a world away from the city.
Inside, the home is equally distinctive.
The split-level living and dining areas feature beautiful Sydney Blue Gum timber floors, while the clever architectural design, skylight and atrium bring natural light deep into the living spaces. The modern kitchen connects effortlessly with the home, creating a warm and inviting environment for everyday living and entertaining.
The spacious main bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and leafy outlook, while the second bedroom provides excellent flexibility as a child's bedroom, guest room or dedicated home office.
A stylish updated bathroom, additional powder room, internal laundry, attic storage and thoughtful features including an alarm system, heated towel rail and off-peak hot-water timer add to the home's practicality.
Step outside and the real point of difference becomes clear.
The private courtyards and park-like gardens create space to entertain, relax, garden or simply enjoy the tranquillity. Beyond the rear gate, the surrounding greenery provides an extraordinary natural backdrop - with easy access to parks, walking routes and the wider Lane Cove National Park environment.
And yet, this peaceful setting is remarkably convenient.
Macquarie University, Macquarie Shopping Centre, Metro transport, local parks, cafés, restaurants and the area's major employment precinct are all within easy reach, while the CBD and airport remain readily accessible.
For professionals, it offers a peaceful retreat from a busy working week.
For a couple or young family, it provides room to grow without giving up convenience.
For a downsizer, it delivers the privacy, gardens and parking that can be difficult to find in apartment living.
And for anyone simply looking for something different, this is a home with personality, soul and a sense of place.
The current owners have lived here through an important chapter of their lives, growing from a couple into a family and creating many treasured memories along the way. Their relocation for work is the only reason this much-loved home is now available.
Now it's ready for someone new to make it their own.
