79 Bungaloe Avenue, Balgowlah NSW 2093

Offered up for the first time in 49 years and in absolutely mint original condition, this unique freestanding residence displays all of the striking hallmarks of its c1930's P&O pedigree.

The unmistakable curved wall façade and linear roofline with brick chimney connect the design to its rich history, while the inside models high ceilings and spacious rooms on both floors.

Elegant retro detailing is seen in the fireplaces with intricate brickwork, leadlight window and a charming galley-style kitchen in its original form, with access to a side utility, where the milk bottles would be delivered each morning.

A choice of two living areas plus a dining room stretch out comfortably on the lower floor, providing the versatility to configure the space in a number of ways. Living extends outwards to an all-weather courtyard and an adjoining lawn, a private and sunny spot for afternoon lazing and pottering, or alfresco family meals.

Upstairs, three immensely spacious bedrooms provide vast amounts of floor space to remodel and create more bedrooms if needed. The front bedroom steps out to a curved alfresco balcony that faces east with views that look down to Forty Baskets and across the harbour to Fairlight.

Set in this highly coveted enclave just a few minutes walk from Forty Baskets, it's close to shops, schools, Stockland shopping centre, bus stops at your doorstep and of course the famous Manly to Spit walk.

The exceptional double brick construction of this home has stood the test of time, and is ready for some contemporary reimagining to create a truly spectacular and completely unique family home.
