77-79 George Street

Hidden behind established gardens in one of Avalon's most desirable coastal pockets, Leontine is a home of remarkable scale, privacy and individuality. Set across approximately 1,636sqm, the late-1930s Spanish Colonial residence feels worlds away from the everyday - a genuine private estate shaped by architecture, garden and almost a century of history.Beautifully restored and evolved for contemporary family life, the double-brick residence unfolds around a sunlit central courtyard, with white rendered walls, high ceilings, original hardwood floors and a magnificent sandstone fireplace preserving its unmistakable character.

Formal and informal living spaces are complemented by a marble-finished kitchen, a dedicated children's wing and an entire upper level creating a wonderfully private parents' retreat.Outside, expansive level lawns and extraordinary established gardens create the setting for a 14.5m tiled pool and self-contained cabana. Magnolias, palms, Frangipanis and Pandanus provide a sense of maturity that simply cannot be recreated, while beyond the gates Careel Bay, Avalon village, schools and the beach are all within easy reach.For all its privacy, Leontine is wonderfully connected to the best of Avalon.

A short stroll takes you to Careel Bay Marina and the Pittwater foreshore, while to the east, North Avalon and Avalon Beach are an easy walk away.

Avalon village is comfortably reached on foot or by bike, with cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday essentials close at hand, while nearby transport provides easy access across the peninsula and beyond.Distinctive Spanish Colonial residence designed and built in the late 1930s Approximately 1,636sqm of private, predominantly level grounds Substantial double-brick construction with beautifully preserved original character Pavilion-style design centred around a sun-filled courtyard and terraces Grand formal living and dining spaces with high corniced ceilings Original hardwood floors and impressive sandstone wood-burning fireplace Marble-finished kitchen forming the heart of the
