Built in the early 1900's, this gorgeous upper duplex with street level access, is brimming with old world charm and character. Primed to catch that sea breeze, it is nestled in a quiet location whilst offering spectacular views of the harbour as well as exclusive use of an enormous rooftop terrace; ideal for enjoying the sun and summer parties.
Wonderfully spacious, with period features, large rooms and high ceilings, it offers versatility and scope for comfortable living and entertaining. A bright and inviting reception area greets, leading on to an elegant north facing dining room, which filters sunshine and natural light through the home. The living room is a masterpiece in space and old world charm. It has a beautiful feature cast iron fireplace in one corner, a breathtaking chandelier and large glass doors that open to a spacious private and protected verandah with dazzling harbour views. This is a perfect spot for relaxing on a lazy Sunday afternoon or gathering friends around a large table for lunch.
All the bedrooms are generously sized with the enormous master bedroom having access to the large verandah through an additional door. The room also features another charming cast iron fireplace, built-in robes and a breathtaking view of the water. The bedroom at the front of the house has the added bonus of a private balcony offering further scope and versatility as a home office, or guest suite. Two further modest bedrooms complete the package for ample accommodation.
The large contemporary kitchen, full of character and functionality, features stainless steel appliances and leads through to a discreet, and very handy additional bathroom with laundry facilities. The family sized main bathroom has been exquisitely renovated to an elegant modern style and features a separate bath and shower.
A bonus for the area is a convenient double lock up garage; a valuable addition for both storage needs and providing easy off-street parking for those warm and busy summer days in Manly.
The location of this home is superb. Just a couple of streets back from the harbour, it is a short walk to the wharf and the fabulous lifestyle that iconic Manly offers including excellent schools, ferry transport and your choice of beaches, bars and restaurants. This Manly beauty, spacious and charming, is an exceptional find.
