45 Robert Street, Freshwater

Designed to optimise its blissful northeast setting and enchanting leafy panoramas stretching to the ocean, this sumptuous contemporary marvel is nestled amid beautifully landscaped resort-like gardens in a peaceful yet wonderfully central location. Flowing across three light filled levels with separate living and dining areas and a kid's TV area or office, it is focused around a sweeping northeast family room flowing via glass bi-fold doors to a covered entertainers' deck with dreamy views. Placed on 642sqm with private child-friendly north rear lawn and a sparkling pool, it is only 200m to express city buses and Harbord Park, 300m to village shops and a five minute stroll to Harbord Public School.
