2/16B New Street, Balgowlah NSW 2093

With dimensions akin to a family home, this delightful duplex occupies the entire top floor of a central harbourside site. Impeccably finished from top to tail it exudes the unmistakable atmosphere of the blessed lifestyle for which this area is renowned.

Plantation shutters, timber floors and a neutral palette are illuminated by a flood of natural light, the living areas ideally positioned to invite the north-easterly sun and salty seebreeze in, as permanent residents. Impressive space allows distinct dining and lounging areas that flow smoothly from the galley kitchen, where a classic neutral scheme keeps the aesthetic timeless, and the stone benchtops and stainless steel gas appliances are ready to serve in the home catering department.

Entertaining and everyday living will gravitate to the superb backyard, beautifully landscaped with sandstone and travertine detailing. A large patio and level lawns bask in sunlight for everyday enjoyment, while an ingenious adaptation of the carport has created even further outdoor space, letting the party spread out on the weekend, reverting to parking duties midweek.

Three double-sized bedrooms are roomy retreats, each with generous inbuilt storage. Meanwhile laundry facilities exist both inside and out and custom joinery ensures every available storage site is put to work in stylish fashion.

North Harbour Reserve is the local landmark just metres away, and Balgowlah Heights Village and school are among the friendly neighbours of this idyllic locale.
