House for rent in Sydney

This recently renovated split-level home displays clever integration with its unspoilt surrounds to capture natural light and bush vistas throughout. It sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, surrounded by a regional bushland park and playing fields, with desirable local schools, shops, and transport within easy walking distance. The top level includes a private master bedroom, complete with bathroom, walk-in closet, and private balcony with leafy outlook. A light-filled living room with original wood floors and cathedral ceilings opens out to an upper balcony frequented by king parrots and rainbow lorikeets.

A newly renovated kitchen with gourmet appliances and natural-granite countertops opens out into a spacious private courtyard, set within a tropical garden ringed by ivy-covered brick. On the ground level, two bedrooms and one office, each with built-in closets, cluster around a brightly painted bathroom with full bath. Each bedroom opens out onto a spacious rear balcony, with direct access to the back gardens. Wide wooden stairs provide easy flow throughout the home’s three levels while ensuring privacy and quiet.

The house is fully equipped with modern kitchen appliances, new mattresses, Wi-Fi, televisions and stereo, gas heaters, and ample storage space. Double-brick walls keep the home cool in summer and warm in winter. A professional horticulturist maintains all gardens, including lemon trees, native bushes, and an herb garden. An independent brick garage provides ample storage and indoor parking.

Normanhurst West, a sought-after elementary school, is only a five-minute walk, with numerous other schools nearby. Playing fields, including basketball, netball, and a lovely playground for small children, are right across the street.

Trains run every 15 minutes from nearby Normanhurst station, with direct access to Sydney’s CBD, Macquarie and Sydney Universities, UTS, and Newcastle. Hornsby, a five-minute drive, boasts expansive shopping centres, a newly renovated public pool, lively sidewalk cafes, and diverse cuisine options.
