Rising majestically above a premier street atop Manly’s tranquil Western Hill, the C1907 ‘Maryville’ has been exquisitely restored and innovatively redesigned to marry the proportions of a grand-scale house with the lock-and-leave simplicity of low-maintenance gardens. Freestanding to the north and flooded with natural light, the impeccably renovated Federation semi showcases expansive living and dining spaces, a sophisticated dolomite island kitchen with a butler’s pantry, ultra-chic bathrooms including two ensuites and an internally accessed basement space with a separate workshop, storeroom and wine cellar. Placed on 290sqm with three street and lane frontages and only one neighbour, it opens to a covered entertainers’ deck extending to a sun-washed courtyard with a built-in barbecue framed by beautifully landscaped gardens. A bespoke haven of peace, luxury and charm, it is an easy stroll to vibrant village eateries, ferries speeding to the city and Manly’s world-famous ocean beach.
