42 Serpentine Crescent, North Balgowlah NSW 2093

An exquisite example of modernist architecture, this fabulous P&O style home references the workmanship and design principles with which the era is synonymous, respectfully renovated to suit contemporary family life.

The unmistakeable facade flaunts its curved lines and linear roofline in a nod to the luxury liners that inspired its form - the epitome of class and elegance of the time. Inside, care and love have been applied in liberal doses to enhance the home's heritage for today's lifestyle. A coastal palette sets the style standard, with deep, dark floorboards and white walls, punctuated with custom timber joinery.

The kitchen is cleverly arranged to optimise space, renovated with a designer's flair and headlined by the impressive freestanding cooker. On either side, two living rooms provide versatility - one ideal as either lounge or dining, the other large enough to be both, with room for the custom-built study section left over.

Dining options continue outside, where a north-facing yard and patio are the setting for child's play and entertaining aplenty under the shade of the enormous frangipani tree.

Each bedroom offers large dimensions, two with built-ins and one with stunning fireplace in its original delicate brickwork pattern as a focal point.
Custom joinery throughout ensures family-ready storage is always at hand, while the neighbourhood supplies endless family-focused attractions. A bike track to Manly is metres away, while school, shops and city buses are an easy stroll.
