81 Beresford Road, Thornleigh.

Built in the early 2000s to capture the character and craftsmanship of a classic country residence, this steel-framed family home offers timeless appeal without the age of a traditional period property. A classic wraparound verandah frames the façade, while soaring 10-foot ceilings, leadlight windows and original hardwood floors run through a generous floor plan of five bedrooms and multiple living spaces, opening easily to private gardens with room to add a pool (STCA). From this whisper quiet position, the home is only a short walk to transport and schools, with village shops, Westfield Hornsby, Barker College and Loreto Normanhurst close at hand. Established gardens provide privacy and add to the serene outlook, complemented by expansive grassed area with plenty of room for children, pets or a future pool.
