9 Mildred Avenue, Hornsby, NSW 2077

Solid brick Californian bungalow brimming with old world character features has been extended into a generously sized family home with superb proximity to Hornsby amenities - a short stroll to every possible convenience.

Pretty Spring gardens at the front and rear provide plush lawn, neat hedging, and a floral array of camellias, azaleas and hydrangeas serving as a natural privacy screen across just over 700sqm.

High ornate ceilings and timber floors welcome you inside the original construction, comprising two large double bedrooms with original leadlight windows; full sized original deco style bathroom; and formal open plan dining area. Easily reinstate the brick fireplace for snug winters indoors.

Continue to the gas timber cabinetry kitchen and the attractive recent addition providing a vast air conditioned family space, and two additional bedrooms with built-in robes which share a modern full sized bathroom.

Huge double hung windows and French doors highlight the rear alfresco entertainer's patio and lush garden setting - backdropped by neighbouring lofty trees for a captivating natural scene from within.

The superb north orientation imbues abundant light, and the supremely peaceful setting feels like a completely private world removed entirely from neighbours. It's easy to forget the fabulous walking proximity to Hornsby's commercial heart.

Reach CBD trains and Westfield Shopping Centre in 10 minutes on foot, or duck up to nearby Asquith Coles in the other direction for necessities. Select from a choice of quality schools in the area, easily reached by buses stopping just up the road.

Beyond its timeless, old world facade and picket fence, the property also includes a detached full brick single garage, gas hot water and a garden shed. An unrivalled Hornsby lifestyle awaits in this historic gem.
