20 Beresford Street, Bayswater, North Shore

'FOREVER HOME'

From its commanding position on the corner of Lansdowne and Beresford Streets, this eye-catching character home stands proud and boasts impressive street appeal. An extensive and transformational renovation by Jones Architects has seen this once modest bungalow morph into a huge five-bedroom, three living room 307sqm (approx.) work of art, complete with heated salt-water pool and spa.

From the feature front door, follow the French Oak flooring through to a Suzanne Allen Design kitchen and enjoy Bosch kitchenware incorporating a Corian engineered stone-top and every home chef's preferred benchtop, brushed stainless steel.

Step down to the lounge room showcasing oversized windows, a dramatic pitched ceiling, and a peep of the sea. Warmed by the sun and the Escea gas fire, this is a great place from which to entertain, relax, or simply just be in. An outdoor space off the lounge enjoys late afternoon sun; an area made more private and compelling by the fully landscaped grounds and extensive outdoor feature lighting.

Kids, take your pick of the four bedrooms with family bathroom in the original part of the house. Parents, follow the stairs and enter your domain - a large bedroom with ensuite, wardrobing, plus your own private lounge with pitched ceilings and spectacular windows to capture the Shoal Bay water views and northerly sun.

The outdoor pool and entertaining area is no stranger to a party or two - couple this with the huge polished concrete floored rumpus room and garage (that can be opened into one immense space), and this is where it all happens - your teenagers will love you for it! Oh, and there's another garage and workshop area too.

Largely coastal, Bayswater has a staunch following of locals that rightly believe there is no better place to live on this peninsula. If you like your water sports, enjoy ferrying to the city, want the kids to be safe in their neighbourhood and have easy access to all levels of schooling, then join the Bayswater movement! The search for your 'forever home' ends here.
