2/26 Old Berowra Road, Hornsby, NSW 2077

A breathtaking surprise awaits you when you open the door to this classy single level Torrens Title 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on level land. The first thing you notice its sheer size, the second thing is how modern and new it looks, then it's all about how light and fresh it feels. Built in 2000, the land was selected and the house designed so that as many rooms as possible face north, while offering privacy and a palpable quietness. It's truly amazing, all this, and you can still be at K-mart in about 2 minutes to shop 24/7. The double garage is remote controlled, powered and has internal access into the home. Beautiful porcelain tiles in a stylish mosaic design adorn the enormous undercover alfresco entertainment patio.

Internal floors are carpeted in the bedrooms and large format tiles in the living rooms. A Masport slow combustion woodburning fireplace in the family room keeps you extra cosy in winter, while ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and a 3.5hp R/C air-conditioning unit in the back of the house make it just right all year round. The kitchen has a walk-in pantry, Bosch dishwasher and plenty of bench space. The internal laundry leads out to side courtyard. There's a combined formal dining and lounge room at entry to the home and a huge casual dining and family room at the back, opening out to both a beautiful pool and to the undercover patio. The king-sized master bedroom has a WIR and the ensuite is striking with black floor tiles and black shower frames. The two queen bedrooms overlook the pool and the single bedroom would make a spacious home office. The saltwater pool is solar heated and is about 2 metres extra deep in the centre, and there is a 3-phase power outlet near the pool area. The property is attractively fenced and the house is cabled for Foxtel.
