Poised above Shelly Beach with postcard-perfect northerly panoramas sweeping from Manly Beach and the northern coastline to an endless ocean horizon, this Watershed Architects-inspired masterpiece takes luxury and lifestyle to an entirely new level. Built from the ground up in 2017 with a fresh focus on seamless indoor/outdoor functionality and spectacular family entertaining, its unique flow-through design features an expansive living and dining space framed by stacked glass sliding walls that open to a sunlit ocean view deck and a central courtyard with an outdoor kitchen.
