Property Description

Welcome to 1242 George Street Discover the rare combination of space, privacy, and convenience at 1242 George Street, ideally situated at the top of Hardwood Hill in Sydney's south end. This well-maintained brick bungalow sits on an impressive 1.74-acre lot, offering a beautifully landscaped and fenced backyard that extends into a private, wooded retreat with mature trees and endless possibilities for gardens, trails, recreation, or simply enjoying nature. The bright main level features a welcoming living room with hardwood flooring and propane fireplace, a modernized kitchen with stainless steel appliances and propane stove, two spacious bedrooms, main-level laundry, and a bathroom with in-floor heat. Ductless heat pumps, installed in 2024, provide efficient heating and cooling, with electric baseboards for backup. The finished lower level adds three additional bedrooms, or use one as a rec room or home theatre, plus a full bathroom. Each lower-level bedroom has an egress window installed in 2025. Recent updates include 2025 laminate flooring throughout the lower level, new flooring in the main-level bedrooms, a new front door and living room window, and a new back screen door. Outdoor and practical features include a 24' x 24' attached garage, 200-amp electrical service, generator hookup with included gas generator, paved front driveway, additional rear gravel parking, enclosed patio, rear deck, and a large fenced backyard with privacy slats added in 2024—perfect for children, pets, and outdoor entertaining.
