Treasured by the same family for nearly 50 years, this much-loved double brick jewel with solid sandstone foundations on 834 sqm approx. embraces its original features with an exquisite blend of traditional and modern elegance incorporating contemporary elements to create the ultimate family home and delivers all this and more for today's family and for generations to come.

A wonderful family home has flourished with a timeless quality. Children loved the garden, with all its many wonders. Each level of this expansive house served as a different playground in which they could release all their lively childhood energy, which was fantastic news when bedtime came around.

Lovely entertaining haven – mums would love cooking in the sun-kissed kitchen. The family would gather to savour delights– whether it be in the tranquil living rooms, or on the sunny deck encompassed by serene garden views, where the kids would be running front and back, grabbing the occasional snag or enjoying hide and seek in the workshop, wine cellar, and the countless rooms up and down.

With an academic family living here for 50 years, this house has not only seen a hard-working, high-achieving family, but also many postgraduate students visiting their professor for his guidance, as well as international visiting academics. Plenty of bookshelves built throughout the house store academic papers and books – the family treasure every second of reading to the children, and every celebration upon receiving their outstanding results and degrees.

Warm, welcoming and impressive in its generous proportions focusing on stylish family entertaining with distinguished interiors bursting with natural light, spacious living areas form a lovely combination of formal and informal havens for the largest of families.

Loads of potential to entice and fascinate including an adaptable layout with generous proportions, this home offers a versatile dual level floor plan with a wonderful cavernous teenage retreat or in law accommodation on the lower level with two bedrooms with floor to ceiling bookcases, rumpus room/living room and bathroom.

Such an academic family value the fact that they’re surrounded by renowned schools. There are in Killara Primary School down the road off Ridgeland Avenue, with the Killara High School bus stop just 100 metres away at the corn of Norfolk Street. And don’t forget the elite schools along the train line, such Ravenswood Girl School, PLC, Knox Grammar ...

Any family living here are blessed with an easy lifestyle at such an idyllic location – the train station is only 750m away, with nearby shopping centres in Gordon, Lindfield, Chatswood, St Ives and Macquarie Centre, along with the luxury of recreational venues nearby, like Regimental Park where to run dogs, swing tennis rackets or simply walk in the refreshing breeze under the undisrupted blue sky. Since the house is right between Killara Golf Course and Gordon Golf Course, both no more than 1km away, you will find it hard to rest your golf clubs, which are always dancing elegantly in the warm sun and the green course.
