Mirrabooka St, Bilgola, NSW 2107

Mirabooka Street is a serene cul-de-dac that leads off the steeply winding Loombah Street. The end closest to Loombah is well shaded and some of the blocks are steep. There is something of an escarpment behind the ‘high’ side of the street at this point, which would cause the lower properties to be in shade much of the time. This is particularly the case with regards to one or two houses that are tucked away in the corner. I doubt they would ever see the light.

Moving around the initial two corners, the street both levels, and straightens out. Some of the houses here are huge, and both the high side and low side would have wonderful views over Pittwater. Many of the houses have been renovated and modernized, with several still in original condition from the outside.

The end of this very quiet and leafy cul-de-sac offers direct north and west facing views towards Kurin-gai Chase National Park – and possibly as far as Lion Island. The properties here are sumptuous and very private. There are stairs at this end of the street – that lead back up on to Lower Plateau Rd, but it’s a bit of a walk to anywhere and public transport is not good.

There are shops up the road on Plateau Rd, a school, pre-school and a couple of parks with playgrounds, all a very short drive away.
