One of only a privileged few residences to occupy an oceanfront position on the headland above Freshwater Beach, this architectural designer home has been masterfully curated to celebrate its awe-inspiring setting while delivering a resort-inspired sanctuary of bespoke luxury. Commanding a breathtaking northerly panorama with uninterrupted views over Freshwater Beach and rolling surf to the glistening ocean horizon, it rests on 560sqm of exquisitely landscaped tropical gardens with an infinity pool seemingly suspended above the sea. Designed to echo the warmth and romance of a Mediterranean coastal villa with rich timbers and intricate wrought-iron detailing, the residence showcases a sequence of formal and casual living spaces flowing effortlessly to a sun-bathed ocean-view terrace. At its heart lies a stone-crafted island kitchen, complemented by opulent Travertine bathrooms, vast storage rooms and a superb full master suite complete with its own sun-drenched seaside balcony. Directly adjoining Freshwater View Reserve with just one neighbour, this whisper-quiet hideaway offers absolute serenity within footsteps of a popular café and city buses, a three-minute stroll to either Freshwater or Queenscliff Beach, and a picturesque 15-minute promenade walk to Manly’s vibrant dining and social hub.
