The Frenchs Forest house is on a big 750sqm block and has a double garage and two off-street car spaces. It is only one kilometre from the new Northern Beaches Hospital which opens in October but because the house is east of Wakehurst Parkway it does not sit in a rezoning area.

Mr Bath said it was a fantastic family home with a nice entertaining area and pool. The property is tenanted until early 2019 but otherwise is ready for a new family.
