Located in a lovely part of Sydney on the Lower North Shore and close to the harbour, our home is a free-standing house in the Californian bungalow style.
Surrounded by trees and green, our back garden is north-facing. It is pleasant, quiet and very private with visits from a variety of native birds. The back lawn has mainly been converted to vegetable and herb beds.
Typical for the Sydney indoor/outdoor lifestyle, doors open from the kitchen/living area onto a back deck for outdoor dining and relaxing. There is an outdoor barbecue in the garden. The front verandah has outdoor furniture and is a very lovely place to sit for late-afternoon drinks.
Accommodation is three bedrooms: one bedroom with king-size bed and built-in wardrobe; and a second bedroom with queen-size bed and wardrobe. A third bedroom is used as an office area with a pull down double bed. There are two bathrooms. One bathroom is in the house. There is a second bathroom/laundry accessible from the back deck with front-loader washing machine, dryer and tubs, toilet and shower/bath.
The living area is open-plan lounge/dining with TV, extendable dining table and couches. The kitchen is well-equipped including dishwasher, gas cook-top, electric oven, microwave, food mixer, food processor and fridge-freezer. .
Off the kitchen/living area there is a large covered deck which has a big outdoor table and seating, and we have many of our meals here except for a couple of months in the winter. Rooms have ceiling fans, and there is reverse-cycle air-conditioning in the living area. There is a gas heater in the living/dining room area.
