The dusty adage of ‘location, location, location’ certainly rings true for this North Bondi residence.
Located within walking distance of the beach and Seven Ways shopping precinct as well as local eateries, this 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2-car parking home is the ideal family offering.
Set on a wide-fronted block offering 251sqm, the free-flowing spaces are split across two floors.
Inside presents a newly refreshed home with polished timber floors and new carpet. The living room and kitchen offers classically high ceilings – the latter fitted with an island connecting to the spacious dining area.
It’s also here that the oversized windows overlook the garden and the lead out to the alfresco dining terrace.
All five double bedrooms offer built-ins while the master bedroom is set with an ensuite, walk-in-robe and private balcony access.
Elsewhere the home offers three bathrooms and an internal laundry.
Further, the home offers a workshop or storage area – with the scope to convert – along with an attic.
Ducted air condition is available in five zones, with ceiling fans throughout the home supplementing the air flow.
The listing is with PPD Real Estate’s Mary Anne Cronin (+61 411 773 646) and Jane Lomax (+61 410 465 277) and is headed to auction February 27. Price guide; $2.9m.

Idaho is not a place that’s often associated with Medieval castles, but a pair have just hit the market for $6.25 million.
The imposing stone structures have towers, turrets, ramparts, arrow-slit windows and even a drawbridge, and might just be the most authentic-looking castles this side of the Atlantic.
“Who expects to see a castle like this in Idaho?” said listing agent Brenda Burk of Coldwell Banker Schneidmiller Realty, who brought the property to the market last week. They are, she said, “extremely unusual.”
Schweitzer Castle and Château de Melusine, as they’re known, stand within Schweitzer Mountain Resort in the Selkirk Mountains and overlook the nearby mountain resort town of Sandpoint. They take in panoramic views of Lake Pend Oreille, Idaho’s largest lake.
The pair of ski-in/ski-out homes each have three bedrooms, two bathrooms and three stories, Burk explained. They are “so authentic,” she said. “Every single stone was handlaid.”
Schweitzer Castle, she said, wasn’t built for “functionality,” but has been modernized and adapted and now has everything a 21st-century residence requires, along with a dungeon, which for some buyers may also be a requisite.
The chateau, meanwhile, has a hot tub room with mountain views, as well as a garage.
The property is being sold furnished, and will come complete with the hand-carved statues, armor, mounted swords, stained-glass windows and a host of antiques dating to the 15th and 16th centuries.
The owner, an antique collector who couldn’t be reached for comment, “is always looking for that hidden jewel and he found that here,” Burk said.
The next custodian is likely to stem from a varied pool of buyers, Burk said, that would include “the trophy-home buyer, someone who can say ‘I own a castle.’”
The property could also appeal to someone looking for a vacation home, or a multi-generational estate, and beyond that “there’s the dreamers,” she said. “We definitely try to market to people who like Medieval history or maybe do Renaissance fairs.”
The seller “really wants it to go to someone with the same passion.”
