Overview

Located on a desirable north-facing corner block with primary frontage to Lithgow Street, this solid 1950s brick home offers a blend of classic charm and modern livability. Its high ceilings and generous room sizes ensure that natural light floods the interiors throughout the day, emphasizing the home's airy and welcoming atmosphere. The recent fresh paint and fully re-landscaped garden make it move-in ready, ideal for those looking to start entertaining immediately while also presenting potential for future value enhancement.

The upper level centers around a spacious living and dining area featuring polished timber floors and expansive glass sliders that open seamlessly to a timber deck. This design facilitates a harmonious flow between indoor and outdoor living, perfect for social gatherings or quiet relaxation overlooking the low-maintenance garden. The three bedrooms on this floor, two with built-in wardrobes, are complemented by a full bathroom, with the main bedroom serving as a peaceful and light-filled retreat.

Downstairs, a separate family room accesses the garden directly, providing versatile space for a children's playroom, media hub, or teenage retreat, effectively keeping more active or noisy areas separate from the main living quarters. This level also includes a second bathroom, a laundry with its own WC, and extensive basement storage suitable for a range of uses including bikes, kayaks, workshop space, or even a wine cellar.

The outdoor space has been thoughtfully designed with entertaining in mind, featuring a new deck with built-in seating, raised garden beds, and potted citrus trees framed by a lush lilly pilly hedge, creating an attractive and easy-care retreat. Additionally, the property offers a level rear pad that allows room for social occasions and the potential for off-street parking accessible via Lithgow Street, subject to council approval.

Situated just a stone's throw from Russell Lea Public School and within easy walking distance to the scenic Bay Run and Rodd Point foreshore, the location complements a lifestyle that appreciates calm waterside living with convenient access to local cafés and dining along Great North Road, as well as reliable bus connections to the Sydney CBD and nearby Drummoyne.
