Karingal, this gracious Early Federation residence, originally a rural homestead and built for the Australian climate, captures the enduring charm of classic Sydney homes with its original features and generous proportions. Set on a substantial block with beautiful gardens, the home offers exceptional privacy and space throughout its expansive interiors.
The five large bedrooms feature high ceilings that enhance the sense of volume and calm. Separate lounge, dining and sitting rooms create versatile zones for relaxed everyday living and entertaining, while the spacious kitchen forms the heart of the home within a large, room-sized informal family/breakfast area perfect for daily family life. A north-facing wrap-around balcony invites sunshine and leafy outlooks, seamlessly connecting indoor spaces with the outdoors.
Practical family living is enhanced by an internal laundry that cleverly doubles as a third bathroom, while an internally accessible double garage provides secure parking and convenient direct access through to the backyard.
To the rear and side, the property unfolds into lush, beautiful gardens and a very private setting, complete with a swimming pool and cabana for effortless outdoor enjoyment. The large rear yard provides ample space to relax or play, while the expansive side yard, once home to a grass tennis court, offers exciting potential to restore for active family enjoyment or simply enjoy as additional open space.
Nestled on Sydney's leafy Lower North Shore, Lane Cove North offers tranquil charm with tree-lined streets, bushland glimpses, peaceful park walks, vibrant village cafes and easy CBD access, enhancing the peaceful sanctuary this home provides.
This is a rare private retreat where heritage character, spacious living areas and expansive outdoor grounds come together in one of the Lower North Shore's most tranquil pockets.
