85 Manning Road, Woollahra

A high-end renovation by celebrated designers Arent & Pyke has injected a sense of joy and intrigue into this private family haven fronting the green open expanse of Cooper Park. Spread over three levels with a choice of outdoor living spaces, the five bedroom home celebrates its setting with an easy indoor/outdoor flow, tranquil park views and private manicured gardens. Every detail has been carefully selected for its inherent beauty and timelessness from the New York marble and pink onyx bathrooms to the bespoke entertainer's kitchen and custom-designed wine cellar. An upbeat vibe and playful spirit delivers a home that's wonderful to live in and perfectly placed with the park as your playground and Double Bay village and the harbour foreshore with easy walking distance.
