'Windyhaugh'
Garden of Eden, Nirvana, Valhalla, Utopia: you've heard them all, but here is the genuine article. Located in the hub of thriving Thornleigh, moments from all amenities, you would never know it once you enter this sanctuary from the bustling world outside and are enveloped by its stillness and tranquillity. You are in another universe.
Those with a sense of history will fall completely in love with this heritage home, built circa 1906 and one of the earliest surviving houses in Thornleigh. Enhanced by a desirable high-set, north-east aspect, it showcases perfectly preserved period features such as decorative pressed metal ceilings and cornices, tongue and groove linings and floorboards, high timber profiles and skirting boards, heavily moulded timber architraves, picture rails and leadlight windows. With soaring ceilings and a floor plan ideally laid out for family living, the home offers 4 very spacious bedrooms, an extensive country-style kitchen, a sitting room, a vestibule and a conservatory with original 1906 fireplace (possible fifth bedroom). Throw open the curtains and allow the light to stream in while being kept cool by the wrap-around verandah and hoods on the north-facing windows, a rarity in urban Sydney.
Garden lovers will be itching to get their green thumbs on the substantial block of approximately 1568m2, with its bubbling fountain and fish pond, to create their own oasis. On the block from the original garden are three Phoenix palms, which are of considerable botanical and aesthetic significance.
This unsurpassed historical home is perfect for any discerning family who will appreciate the charm and ultimate seclusion of a turn-of-the-century property along with the convenience of the locale.
