LISTING DESCRIPTION
as of July 2013

Harbour-view sanctuary A locally admired and rarely offered Northbridge classic, this split level, double brick home enjoys an elevated leafy setting with tree filtered harbour district views. The home is northeast facing at the rear, next to a lush bush reserve and surrounded in greenery, while the quiet interiors are decorated to reflect the character of the home. The site was purpose-chosen by the original owner in the late 1930s and the home was architect designed and built by John Brogan, known for the Bahai Temple in Sydney's Ingleside and the former home of pioneer aviator Nancy Bird Walton in St Ives.It was one of the first homes in the area and occupies a private position with a gardener's garden featuring terraced lawns, rockeries, a fish pond and sandstone courtyard. All living areas overlook the garden and the neighbouring reserve; in fact, the design brings the outdoors in to create a magical sense of being at one with nature, while the harbour views provide a beckoning backdrop. The quiet interiors include formal lounge and dining areas, a modern gas kitchen and three bedrooms (including two oversized and master with ensuite), as well as two sunrooms, a spa bathroom and powder room plus ducted gas heating throughout.A bonus is the versatile basement area which has several storerooms, a cellar and an original photographic darkroom. There's also internal access to an extra wide double garage. To quote the current owner: It offers a bushland sanctuary in the middle of the city and is ideally situated moments to a walking track through the reserve to waterfront Clive Park and Northbridge Sailing Club and public transport to the City and Chatswood.
