A complete redesign and rebuild has transformed this premium 640sqm park-side parcel into a sumptuous family residence with a completely separate self-contained second dwelling, each with enclosed gardens and spectacular alfresco entertaining areas. An enhanced character home forms the foundation of the main residence, where contemporary luxury and effortless family living converge across a sweeping living and dining space flowing to a massive covered entertainer’s terrace, a deluxe island kitchen with walk in pantry, a superb master suite and an additional extensive covered terrace basking in sublime parkland views and northerly sunlight. The ultra-modern two-bedroom second dwelling enjoys private access and a beautifully landscaped deck, lawn and garden oasis. Set directly opposite Miller Reserve, where neighbours and kids regularly gather and play, its tranquil setting is within a stroll of Manly Vale Public School, NBSC Mackellar Girls Campus, Coles supermarket and B-Line city buses, while Warringah Mall, Manly Dam Recreational Reserve and a selection of beaches are only moments away.
