30 Hampden Road, PENNANT HILLS

Established Home and Approved Subdivision

Architect designed to give maximum impact and an enduring contemporary feel, this double brick Californian bungalow style home on 1994sqm approx of land (council approved for subdivision and extensions) was built on a sandstone base in 1928, and has been thoroughly enjoyed by the current family since 1959. At the main entry point to the house, the expansive north facing combined lounge and dining room opens onto a large inviting bay-shaped verandah. In a street lined with beautiful mature trees, including plentiful jacaranda, and surrounded by large established quality homes and gardens, the house comprises 4 bedrooms, a study (with large built-in), tandem lock-up garage and it has high patterned ceilings. The fourth bedroom and family room are flooded with soft light and enjoy a premium vista over the back garden with its wide green spaces, colourful flowers, blue skies and lofty trees. The house has 2 split air-conditioners, gas heating and the kitchen could be converted to gas. Revel in the property as it is, or let your imagine ignite, with its scope to put your own stamp of style onto this property, to further develop the well-maintained mature garden, or to modernise the house to your taste.

Expressions of Interest are invited to purchase a battleaxe allotment of 1093sqm approx. There are also plans available for the current home to be extended to two storeys at the back comprising 3 more bedrooms, a rumpus room, new laundry and 2 bathrooms and to add a double lock-up garage at the front.

Alternatively you may wish to retain the current 'Flixton' estate as is. It is a haven for those with a love of gardens. Picnic with the family in the grounds, soak up the sun on the verandah, or retreat to the cool in the summer, making this property a self-contained paradise, in a warm and friendly neighbourhood where the residents stay for decades. Real richness pervades the grounds where the wide variety of established flora includes Blackbutt, cypresses, magnolia, Japanese maple, citrus trees, guava, azalea and rose gardens. There is easy access at the end of the cul-de-sac to Lane Cove National Park and Pennant Hills Park for a huge supply of sporting activities. There you will find 4 ovals for Rugby, AFL and Hockey, 16 tennis courts, 17 netball courts, cricket, athletics track, archery range, running and bushwalking. Shops and transport are all a short walk away, offering so much convenience along with the tranquil feel of a country estate. Hornsby with its extensive Westfield shopping and transport interchange is about 10 minutes away, and many selective, public and private schools are all within just a few train stops from this home.
