THE DEAL
(Also addressed as 1/8890 Darley Road, Manly. For the best access, please enter via Darley Road)
Set in a boutique low-rise complex on Eastern Hill, this two-level townhouse delivers a rare combination for inner Manly: genuine separation of living and sleeping zones, two private courtyards, and a walk to the beach, the Corso and the village's café strip. It's a home for buyers who want the Manly lifestyle without the compromises of apartment living.
Downstairs, the open living room connects to a front courtyard on one side and a sun-filled rear courtyard on the other, with doors on both ends drawing natural light and air through the entire level. The dining space sits just off the kitchen, creating an easy, connected footprint for everyday living or relaxed entertaining, while the fully turfed and fenced courtyards, dressed with palms and succulents, offer genuine outdoor space rarely found this close to the village. A separate downstairs toilet adds everyday convenience for guests and family alike.
Upstairs, vaulted ceilings and oversized windows carry light through two generous bedrooms. The main is fitted with mirrored built-in robes and a leafy outlook, while the second offers flexibility as a home office, guest room or growing family space. A main bathroom and separate laundry complete the level, and a secure, gated parking space adds further practicality below.
SEALS THE DEAL
This is Manly living at its most enviable: two private courtyards, a genuine sense of separation between living and sleeping, and a walk to everything that makes the Northern Beaches lifestyle so sought-after. Step out the door and you're minutes from Manly's golden sand and famous ocean pool, the buzz of the Corso with its boutiques and cafés, and the ferry that whisks you to the CBD in under half an hour. Weekends here mean early swims, coffee at your local, sunset walks along the harbour, and the kind of easy, outdoor-oriented life that first drew people to this stretch of coast. For buyers chasing that rare balance of space, privacy and location, this is the one that delivers on all three.
