Raine and Horne Double Bay sales executive Martine Harvey says the two-storey home is set in “quiet cul de sac” within reasonable walking distance of trendy Double Bay’s shopping village.

“If you like that English sort of charm with the windows and the fireplaces, this is the home for you,” Ms Harvey says.

“But as well as the old world charm, it has all the modern conveniences like a contemporary marble and timber kitchen with all the bells and whistles including a butler’s pantry.”

Other nods to today’s lifestyle include ducted reverse cycle air-conditioning, a security alarm and lift access from the ground floor to the first level.

Ms Harvey says families who love to entertain friends and relatives will appreciate that the home offers three living areas and “is surrounded by lush gardens complete with sandstone terraces, immaculate lawns, a vegetable garden and a heated jet pool”.

As well as its walking distance proximity to the recently revamped Double Bay shopping precinct, this home is conveniently close to the shops and community services at Edgecliff and Bondi Junction. It is also a “stroll” to Cooper Park, tennis courts, playing fields and a local café. And it is within comfortable driving distance of several private schools including Cranbrook, Ascham and The Scots College.

Ms Harvey says 8 Glencoe Rd will suit a growing family because it offers four bedrooms and a rumpus area, which can be converted into a bedroom.

“It will appeal to professionals or business people who have a family with younger or growing children,” she says. “So far we have had interest from locals who are looking to upgrade to a larger home within the area.”
