16 Consul Road, Brookvale NSW 2100

Set on one of Brookvale's best streets, this free-standing beauty has been developed with love and care, creating a charming and character-filled home that is tailor-made for vibrant, modern family life.

Defined by outstanding alfresco spaces to the front and the rear and refreshing coastal breezes that sweep through the rooms, it showcases an open floorplan with fluid connections between living, accommodation and outdoors.

Light-filled living incorporates lounge, dining and gourmet kitchen, and is enhanced by light timber floorboards, vaulted ceilings and high-level windows that are framed by timber beams taken from the old Balmoral Wharf.

Living flows outwards to the entertainer's deck at the front – an expansive, undercover space with district and ocean glimpses that also overlooks an immaculate garden with a beautifully kept lawn and flowerbeds.

Tucked away along the northern side of the building, accommodation is comfortable and spacious and is serviced by a contemporary bathroom with free-standing bath and a double shower with rainwater showerheads.

The master bedroom has the added luxury of a dressing room and bi-folds that open up to the rear garden – an enchanting haven of privacy and peace that features a covered entertainer's terrace and another sunny lawn.

The attic has been converted into a very useable space that the older kids will love as a private retreat, plus there's heaps of storage space here, as well as under the house. There's also off-street parking for two cars.

In this central setting, Dee Why and Warringah Mall are at your fingertips. Schools and parks are within walking distance, and beaches, Freshwater and Manly are just a short drive away.
