16 Kiola Road, Northbridge NSW 2063

On the market for the first time since 1975, this classic character residence is a substantial family home with plenty of further potential in this surprisingly quiet yet ultra central location. The circa 1920 full brick bungalow has been well maintained and extended over the years, with fresh paint and new carpet complementing superb decorative ceilings, ornate cornices and charming diamond-paned windows. Set on a wide 645sqm block with rear lane access, this property offers options to renovate, extend, add a pool or build a rear garage or studio (STCA) to suit your lifestyle needs.

Tucked away in a quiet tree-lined avenue of character homes, it's just around the corner from Northbridge's vibrant main street with its cafes, restaurants, boutiques, Plaza shopping centre and City, Chatswood and Lindfield buses. Northbridge Public and St Philip Neri Primary Schools are less than 10 minutes walk away, it's a short stroll to Northbridge Golf Club, sports oval and waterfront parkland, convenient to popular high schools and minutes drive to the City and North Shore business centres.

The spacious sun-filled front lounge has an original feature fireplace with gas bayonet and casement windows looking out across the attractive streetscape. A central dining room with slow combustion stove and older gas kitchen flows through to modern casual living with RC/AC opening to a covered terrace and the generous rear garden. The flexible floorplan provides two large double bedrooms and two single bedrooms, along with modernised main bathroom and rear laundry with second WC. Elevated above the street on sandstone foundations with steps up to a wide front veranda, the house is framed by attractive front gardens with side driveway to a garage/storage shed, plus rear lane gated access to off-street parking. This timeless classic offers a warm welcome with a great sense of space and light and room to add your own style and create your family future.
