This much-loved family home is on the market for the first time in 24 years and is ready for its lucky new owners to start their chapter. With spacious living areas and a heated pool, this attractive villa presents a desirable family lifestyle in Northcote Point. A picture-perfect street presence introduces the single-level villa and 809sqm (more or less) freehold flat site, with the front veranda showcasing classic early 1900s fretwork and overlooking the neatly landscaped lawns and established gardens.

Inside, charming original features and period details create a warm and inviting environment. The traditional villa layout sees four large bedrooms located off the entry foyer, with the sunny front room also doubling as a separate lounge with a fire place. The master has its own ensuite, while the other rooms are serviced by the family bathroom with a bath.

A stained glass door opens into the expansive, open-plan living, dining and kitchen space at the rear, where a wood burner warms the lounge. Plenty of glass brings the outside in within the sunny dining and kitchen, which enjoys a fantastic connection with the wrap-around decks and lush gardens that frame it.

Outside, the beautifully private swimming pool complex is perfect for long summer days and nights entertaining family and friends. There is a single garage out here, as well as a light and sunny multi-purpose space that could be the ideal home office, teenager retreat or pool cabana. The property is fully fenced has space for several cars to be parked along the paved driveway.

Popular Stafford Road Wine Bar is an easy stroll from the front gate, along with cafes, and restaurants, the boutique cinema and Northcote tavern are located further down the road, as is the ferry for a quick trip to the CBD. Little Shoal Bay's beach and reserve are a wonderful place to explore, and despite the quiet, relaxed atmosphere at home.
