11 Wattle Avenue, Fairlight NSW 2094

A triumphant blend of luxurious contemporary living and old world charm, this elegantly-presented semi is nestled within a leafy and coveted pocket of Fairlight.

Interiors have been updated and adapted to modern life, showcasing an easy-flow layout and high-quality fittings. Yet its period features are a testament to the quality workmanship of its era, with high ceilings and expansive rooms, leadlight windows and decorative cornicing.

Living, dining and kitchen function as one open and expansive space for the family to rest, relax or come together. The gourmet kitchen features a Smeg 6-burner gas cooktop and oven, and stainless steel, timber and stone fittings with a striking black-tiled splashback.

An extravagant master bedroom at the front of the house spills out through timber bi-folds to a large alfresco terrace. This delightful spot is framed by a Frangipani tree and is ideal for leisurely breakfasts – taking full advantage of the northern sunshine that warms this space in the mornings.

Come afternoon, the private, tree-lined courtyard to the rear will be perfect for gatherings and BBQs with family and friends, with easy access to the living and kitchen areas.

There's a few extra bells and whistles. Another bedroom offers a chic en-suite; there's a compact and concealed laundry, a double lock-up garage with extra storage, and a security alarm and intercom access.

In this family-centric neighbourhood, convenience is key. Manly is a 20-minute walk away, and a similar walk will take you to Fairlight or Queenscliff beach. Good schools are in close proximity, and supermarkets and shops are nearby.
