44A Russell Avenue, WAHROONGA

Modern Executive Residence with Character

&Charming characteristics combine with up-to-the-minute quality full brick
construction and luxury contemporary features and finishes to make this split-level 4
bedroom (with 2 SLUGs) plus 41sqm approx north facing studio apartment, a dream
fulfilled for a wide range of lifestyle requirements. Tastefully designed with pitched and
turreted roof lines, combined with an L-shaped foot print and sumptuous internal
treatments, give the building a unique personality. Tallowwood floorboards grace the
new part of the house and re-finished Cypress pine has been exposed in the apartment.
Downlights, clerestory windows and skylights punctuate walls and ceilings. The double
sized upper SLUG leads to a study, bedroom 2 and a romantic master bedroom with
private balcony, WIR, ensuite with underfloor heating & a spa bath. On the ground floor
are a wine cellar, bedrooms 3 and 4, main bathroom, the apartment (with 2 entrances
and beautiful new kitchen), glamorous main kitchen and open plan dining and lounge
with log fire. The kitchen has expansive granite bench tops, a 900mm SS oven, S/S Smeg
6 burner cooktop, vitreous porcelain double sinks and intelligently designed cabinetry.
The sunny merbau deck overlooks a glistening swimming pool and out to grand old fir
trees. The house has 3 bathrooms, ducted vacuum system, a cantilevered BBQ built into
the deck, and under the house is 5000L rainwater tank. Hop on freeway to central coast,
walk 10 minutes to any of three train stations (Wahroonga, Normanhurst, Waitara) and
shop or take kids the parks at Hornsby or Wahroonga. This property would suit those
with either small children or teenagers at school since it is in the heartland of
educational options iconic to the upper north shore, or who need to retreat to various
parts of a home, or with in-law accommodation needs, or who would like to derive
some extra income from the apartment.
