Drummoyne 16 Formosa Street

Privileged with all of the benefits of park and bayside living, this wonderful period home is elegant by nature and appealing in versatility. Its semi-detached format is open to the north on a dual access block designed with an emphasis on indoor/outdoor integration. It commands an elevated vantage, optimised by a front verandah that instills relaxation with calming vistas over Brett Park and the bay.

Rich in c1910s character, interiors open to a formal lounge adorned with the faade of an original fireplace. The unique layout surprises with a hallway staircase that descends to a chic entertaining area. Its sweeping open plan design is set with a gas kitchen and takes in natural light and ventilation from the northerly access path.

The two bedrooms of the semi's original layout are both bright and generously scaled, providing mirrored built-in wardrobes for clutter-free living. The master bedroom offers that extra measure of space and has an ensuite. It is as impeccably presented as the main bathroom down the hallway, which rewards residents with a corner spa bath.

Heightening the element of surprise, the rear of the block combines a private courtyard with an open ended garage, doubling perfectly as covered alfresco space. Appointed with kitchen, bathroom and laundry facilities, as well as flexible space upstairs, this design affords every potential for dual occupancy (STCA), accessible from Formosa Street and Victoria Road.

Recently refreshed, this home achieves a level of comfort deserving of this premium address. The playground, Bay Run and Drummoyne Swimming Centre are all within metres, Birkenhead Point is close by and the CBD is less than 10 minutes away.
