38 Judith Street, Seaforth NSW 2092

Combining luxurious sanctuary and relaxed casual living, this special family home promotes a healthy outdoor lifestyle to be envied. One of only a few enjoying a level garden that opens onto Bantry Bay Reserve, this Architect-remodelled home by Wolski Coppin Architecture, features tasteful contemporary finishes, breezy dimensions and a fabulous layout of open communal zones and refined private retreats.

Detailed with stone benchtops and European appliances, the large kitchen spilling to the outdoors is ideal for parties and entertaining. The casual-chic sitting and dining area integrates smoothly to an idyllic scene beyond: a covered deck, swimming pool, gazebo, level lawns and a delightful al fresco seating area surrounded by an enviable raised-bed vegie garden and citrus grove. At the front of the house, floor to ceiling bookshelves are a feature of the formal living area.

Impressive bespoke joinery and Juliet balconies are just some of the charismatic enhancements evident throughout, while new hardwood floors finish the home with a fresh, contemporary polish. The reserve and Manly Dam mountain bike track connect directly with the north-facing rear, giving this home the spacious feel of living on a rural acreage. Yet just upstairs, vast views of the city skyline (including the Harbour Bridge) confirm the ideal commuter locality of the home.

Counting popular bushwalks, a golf course with licensed cafe/restaurant, tennis club, bowling club, Balgowlah North Public School and Bligh Park Preschool among its neighbours, this exceptional home within Manly Council jurisdiction is a rare opportunity brimming with family appeal.
