Great Layout, Gorgeous Outlook and Solid Home
Views are breathtaking from this family home that backs onto a lush turpentine forest and the start of the Lane Cove River. This is a really nice home to live in as is, plus there is plenty of scope to put your own touches into this solid structure. The kitchen (with Ceran cooktop and Miele dishwasher) enjoys the view and opens to the dining room, then the lounge room with these both opening onto a large and delightful undercover verandah all facing north east to the view. Comprising 4 bedrooms (two queens and two singles) in the main house, fifth bedroom or home office/ home gym is separate and includes a laundry with shower and separate wc. All have built-ins except the master bedroom, which has a WIR with exhaust fan and a 2yr old ensuite. The main bathroom has a deep enamel bath, tiled shower and new vanity. Stay cosy in winter beside the Kent slow combustion fireplace set in a commanding Prairie-style slate clad surround in the spacious lounge room, which has a dramatic vaulted wood ceiling. Renovations over the last 5 years include a new colorbond roof, an awning to the music studio, replacement of timbers in double carport and the addition of floating floorboards in the modern kitchen and dining room. Cypress floors in one of the bedrooms make the house fresh. The music/rumpus room downstairs has timber-lining, large and opens out the rear garden. Both levels have split R/C air-conditioning. There's loads of high ceiling storage under the house, which also has lighting and power points.
It's about a 15 minute walk to Thornleigh train station and about 8 minutes to Thornleigh Marketplace on the Commenarra where you can do your banking, enjoy a host of retail outlets and its fabulous Woolworths supermarket. It's a 5 min walk to the local playground and school bus stop. A great location to access a host of schools both public and private, including South Turramurra HS and PS, Cheltenham HS, Pennant Hills HS, and Normanhurst Selective as well as the cluster of large private schools such as Loreto, Barker, St Leos and Abbotsleigh. Catch trains to Hornsby for Westfield shopping and cinemas and more. The train trips to the City are so easy for Sydney University and the UTS. The access is especially fast to Macquarie for its university, huge shopping mall and corporate business parks.
