WHAT THE OWNER LOVES:
- We love the location. It's one of the best streets in Balgowlah. It's a 2 minute stroll to Balgowlah Heights shops or Seaforth village and many harbour beaches and parks.
- We have natural sunlight all through the day, with amazing breezes, and are surrounded by lush tropical gardens from all angles.
- We love the incredible spaciousness of our home, ease of entertaining, and the extra large private garden that we have lovingly designed.
- The sweeping views of Manly and Sydney harbour are incredible, and forever changing. Watching the fireworks on New Years Eve from your private balcony is a pretty special experience.
