Set well down from the street out of view and backing onto Stringybark Reserve, this spacious and character filled home ensures quiet family seclusion with a wonderfully private leafy aspect. Previously owned by Australian film producer and editor, Anthony Buckley A.M. (Caddie, Bliss, Oyster Farmer) and fondly recollected in his autobiography, Behind A Velvet Light Trap, the home has been updated to include a brand new kitchen and bathrooms plus an all-level guest wing or teen retreat.
There are four bedrooms, two (including guest wing) each with en-suite plus formal living and dining, an open plan family meals space and mezzanine library. A divine garden features alfresco entertainment areas and a stunning in-ground salt water pool with infinity edge, and this provides a focus from indoors and a balcony off the upper level. High timber lined ceilings and polished original floorboards upstairs and quarried tiles on the lower level add a rich finish throughout, while other features include an open fireplace, air conditioning, multiple skylights and a double carport.
The home is immediately comfortable and presents a unique opportunity in a serene natural setting. It's located a short walk to city buses, close to parks and schools, within a few minutes of Lane Cove village centre and easily accessible to the CBD.
