10A Clovelly Road, Hornsby, NSW 2077

Beautiful fine white exposed rafters and a woodburning fireplace add to the comfortable homely quality of this large family friendly house that allows you to escape the busyness of everyday life, yet be only 1km from every lifestyle requirement and city-style infrastructure. Comprising 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a tandem triple carport on 1106sqm approx of land, the property provides enviable privacy, and many places to lie in the northern sunlight and reflectively enjoy the view, making it truly a house to come home to. Uniquely, it has an artist's cottage on site with its own car space, electricity, gas and water, leadlight, skylights and a verandah to the view and the pool and separate spa. The pool area is a little world of its own with plenty of paved surrounds and a separate spa. There's also a large and inviting dining gazebo, a hammock patio and a trampoline platform. There's just as much fun to be had indoors, with TV outlets in several rooms, a Foxtel satellite, a spacious yet warmly welcoming open plan living room (facing the pool and gazebo) with a huge contemporary kitchen, dining space and lounge area (with beech coloured floating floorboards). The pool has a Zodiac system that self-cleans the pool and keeps the water purified. The kitchen has a Miele dishwasher and stainless steel De Longhi 5-burner gas cooktop, Chef oven and IAG rangehood. Creamy coloured surfaces and golden beige glossy cabinets work well with the darker splashbacks. A large island adds to the already generous bench space. The security system includes a remote controlled security gate with intercom into the property, back-to-base alarm and dead bolts. The layout is split level up to 4 bedrooms and the main bathroom. Take stairs down to self-contained living quarters with slate floors, a bedroom/home office/lounge room, freestanding woodheater fireplace, timber framed doors out to the carport; a rumpus room/home gym also with egress to the carport; and a combined bathroom and laundry. The lounge room has R/C split air, as do each of the upstairs of the 4 bedrooms, which also each have a light/ceiling fan and built-ins. The spacious king-sized bedroom opens to a roomy undercover deck. Bedroom 3 also has a private deck. The kids can be independent with the 1km approx walk to Barker, trains and shops and parks (flying fox at Reddy Park). Walk to restaurants, cinemas, bowling, tennis, sports ovals, bush trails. The dog park at Rofe Park and the drive to Fagin Park (about 15 min drive) are also favorite spots.
