Balgowlah 10 Gourlay Avenue
A Generational Opportunity – North Facing Waterfront
This is one of the Northern Beaches most extraordinary private residences. It is a property for a select few. This home offers the opportunity to live on a private 1000m2 North facing block adjacent to Sydney Harbour National Park. The property is an absolute waterfront. At high tide you have the water of North Harbour gently lapping at your retaining wall, at low tide you have the level sand on your own beachfront as your backyard. The owners love the property for its privacy, secluded bush like setting and amazing North sunny aspect.
The current home is a cosy 2 bedroom retreat with a separate studio which includes its own bathroom. As you enter the property the light and space open to the expansive views from the living and dining areas. There is an open fireplace and a study nook. The floors are timber as is the kitchen benchtops which blend the house into its tranquil surrounds. Upstairs there are the 2 bedrooms. The house features several decks which all soak in the amazing views. Access to the waterfront is easy via a gentle sandstone path through the gardens. There is lots of off street parking and a single garage. The current cottage will be perfect for many buyers however for others the scope to extend and improve the home (STCA) will also be a huge attraction. The home offers protection from southerly winter winds and enjoys the north easters in the summer that keep you cool. You are 2 minutes on foot to Davis Marina, North Harbour Reserve and further 5 minutes' walk to Forty Baskets Beach to the East. This home is really something magical being on water at North Harbour, but still close to local schools, public transport, Stockland Shops at Balgowlah as well as the surf beaches, cafes and restaurants at Manly.
