Description

Welcome to 79 Whitney Ave, an exquisite home in one of Sydney’s most prestigious areas, just 3 KM from the Regional Hospital. This spacious residence blends modern updates with timeless charm, offering 7 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a rare tandem garage tucked beneath the home for added privacy. With alleyway access and a fenced backyard, this home is a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Step inside to beautifully refinished hardwood floors and a central wooden staircase, the focal point of the semi open-concept main level. The bright, functional kitchen is the heart of this space, featuring beautiful countertops and ample workspace. It flows seamlessly into the elegant dining area, which in turn connects to the spacious living room—anchored by a cozy fireplace and heat pump. This open-concept layout, enhanced by large garden doors at the front and the rear, creates a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. Step out onto the back deck from the dining area to enjoy views of the fenced backyard and lush landscaping—perfect for hosting summer gatherings. Beyond the kitchen, the cozy family room is filled with windows, a second heat pump, and a wood stove. Off of the family room, you’ll find a dream-worthy home office or main-level bedroom featuring oversized windows and natural wood finishes. Both of these rooms provide a serene retreat with wonderful views of greenery and mature trees, blending indoor comfort with outdoor beauty. A stylish half-bath at the entry completes the main floor. Upstairs, find the master bedroom, complete with dual closets and an ensuite bath. A second bedroom (currently used as a walk-in closet), two additional bedrooms, and a conveniently placed laundry room complete the second level, along with a 3-piece bath featuring double sinks. The third level offers two additional bedrooms (buyer to verify egress) and a storage closet, while the basement area provides ample opportunity, additional storage, and access to the tandem garage.
