19 Kalaui Street, North Balgowlah NSW 2093

In a showstopping demonstration of deluxe design, this fabulous home represents the epitome of a blessed family lifestyle. From the stunningly manicured tropical gardens on entry, to the unexpected ocean views, every inch evokes a welcoming aura that's hard to resist.

Bright and airy spaces are the theme, connecting through clever design to a private north-facing side courtyard, or to the sunlit yard and deck, with plunge pool and spa bath. Spotted gum floors lead the way through the huge living quarters and kitchen, where stone benchtops, a window splashback, soft-close joinery and district outlooks set the scene for serious entertaining, or cosy quiet nights with the family.

Each bedroom is a picture of space and style, with substantial storage, fabulous light and easy access to one of the stunning bathrooms, where frameless glass walk-in showers and double vanities are the norm. A downstairs bedroom is ideal for an au pair or guests, while the master sits within its own wing, indulgently fitted with separate lounge area, gorgeous ensuite, walk-through robe and wrap-around balcony with breathtaking coastal views.

Attention-grabbing appointments include laundry chute, double auto garage with internal access, ducted air conditioning, excellent storage, study and rumpus landing zone upstairs. Meanwhile, the coveted address eludes to the outstanding family lifestyle on offer in the immediate surrounds, just a short walk from Manly Dam, Village shops, city buses and Balgowlah North School.
