6 Consul Road

Brookvale NSW 2100

Vale View, built in 1913, is among the last of its kind on the northern beaches, but because it has been so well loved and cared for, it has plenty to offer today and into the future. The open-plan living, sunny front terrace and backyard barbecue patio provide many living and entertaining options, and there's a private rear lawn for kids and pets, too.

Elevated over Brookvale Valley, the neighbourhood is quiet, and just a few minutes away from beaches, public transport, schools, parks, sport fields and Warringah Mall.

The flexible two-storey floorplan means you can locate the master bedroom upstairs or down. There are two bedrooms at entry level, and downstairs is a third bedroom plus a study or nursery, and a bathroom. The lower level has its own entry through the garden.

This is a home of refined architectural textures. The kitchen's centerpiece is a grand fireplace, serving as reminder of this home's heritage. It also has timber wall paneling, wide polished floorboards, ornate ceilings, plate and picture rails, high skirting boards, bay windows and stained glass. The open living spaces are set against picture windows framing the leafy district views.

Additional features:

Formal entry foyer
Study nook/home office space
Original stone landscaping
Under-house storage/workroom
Large external laundry room

This unique property is ready to occupy now, and with minor renovations it could become a showpiece rivalling any house of similar vintage in Manly or Fairlight.
