Within cooee of The Strand, parklands and bike paths that line the bay, this impressively appointed house with northern light, polished floorboards, a fireplace and a luxurious feel up top, will have buyers wanting a slice of the good life lining up. Two downstairs bedrooms share a bathroom, while the huge main upstairs has a study retreat, a loft alcove, walk-in wardrobes and contemporary en suite – not to mention access to a large terrace taking in city lights. Living and dining areas accompany a light-drenched kitchen with stone benchtops and stainless-steel appliances. Ducted heating takes care of the chill of winter sea breezes, and low-maintenance outdoor surroundings help keep weekends free to enjoy exploring the treats on tap in the popular seaside suburb. A big double carport is another bonus on a long list of attractions.
