28 Altona Street, HORNSBY HEIGHTS

A Total Oneness With Nature

Stunning vistas of green from every window, and along a private drive of only 3 houses, it is you who will feel the comforting sensation of being hugged by the trees in this home situated on 1448sqm approx of land. Comprising 3 bedrooms (all with built-ins), 1 bathroom and 1 carport, this architect designed home, built in 1987 of very good quality products, is constructed so that it places you within the tree line canopy. You feel you can reach out and touch nature, particularly from the absolutely private master bedroom. The split-level allows for extra storage and light from clerestory windows. Plans are available for lower level extensions comprising a guest room with built-ins, a study, family room, bathroom and deck. Currently the under the house area can be used for further dry storage. Snuggle up beside the woodburning combustion fireplace, under a raked ceiling with exposed beams, in the bright and airy open plan combined lounge and dining room. Soak up the north and eastern sun on the deck, or relax in the cool of the courtyard. The rustic style kitchen has a large pantry, honey coloured timber benches, timber cabinets with dramatic black doors, eco and time efficient double oven, a Schott Ceran cooktop, S/S rangehood, additional hot water tank and a dishwasher. The internal laundry has purpose built storage and a door to a Juliet balcony that will form an extra entree to the proposed extensions. Only a year ago, the walls were repainted and the cypress floorboards in the living room were repolished. The energising and invigorating view is of lush native foliage, treetops, ferns, tree ferns, date palms and the hills beyond. There is ample easily accessible flat area on the property to put a trampoline and swings. All this green lifestyle, peace and tranquillity in a Leura-like holiday setting, is also intelligently close to a major train station with express trains whisking you to the city in under 30mins. The district is known to be strong family friendly community where people build great networks. Three extensive sets of playing fields and two primary schools are nearby, and scenic drives and picnic spots in the vicinity include Galston Gorge and Crosslands Reserve in the Berowra Valley Regional Park. Drive just 10 minutes and you can enjoy endless shopping at Hornsby Westfield, and access the best that the Upper North Shore has to offer in private school education. This beautiful district has every imaginable sporting activity on offer, including gorgeous cycling routes and water sports in the national and regional parks.
