Light and sunny beach-style home close to some of Sydney's best beaches.

Located in a quiet tree-lined cul-de-sac with lovely district views from deck.

Recently refurbished with two bedrooms and study -hundred of books! - high-speed wifi.

Pittwater is a peninsula on Sydney's Northern Beaches, about 45 minutes from the Sydney Harbour Bridge. It's a narrow strip of land with peaceful bays on one side (Clareville, Taylor's Point) and surf beaches on the other; Bilgola, Avalon, Whale and Palm beaches - all stunning golden sand beaches with sea pools.

A short ferry ride will take you over to The Basin which is a picturesque swimming lagoon in National Park bushland where you'll always see wallabies and native parrots as well as other wildlife.

Avalon Village is our closest shopping area, it's about 15 minutes walk (easier on the downhill than the up!) 3 minutes drive or there are buses. There's a supermarket, excellent bookshop, French patisserie and lots of great cafes that serve good food.

We have many restaurants in the area, including the internationally famous Jonahs and Barrenjoey House but also many good brasseries and take-aways.

Gourmet take-away pizza and an organic fruit & vegetable store few minutes walk away.
