Part of the quintessential charm of the Willoughby streetscape, this freestanding c1920s home graces a superbly central 546.3sqm corner block mere moments from the heart of the village. With deep ties to the community, the home has been lovingly held in the one family since the early 1960s.
Open to the north east yet wonderfully private, the family friendly level backyard welcomes all day sun and provides off street parking via Cambridge Street. Updated without sacrificing its original charm, ornate ceiling roses, fireplaces and leadlight window details have been retained and restored.
Presenting three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a central lounge room and open-plan living at the rear, the single level layout is perfect for families of all stages. Opening to the entertaining deck and backyard through two sets of sliding glass doors, watch children at play from the kitchen, dining and family room.
Well-presented and comfortable as is, there is vast potential to renovate, extend or rebuild capitalising on the level dual access landholding and its prime location, (subject to council approval). Benefiting from its proximity to both the High Street and Penshurst Street shopping precincts, walk to just about everything from this sought-after North Shore pocket. Close to local schools, city buses and vibrant cafes, discover the endless appeal of this superbly central address.
