Rising majestically on the high side of the street with awe-inspiring views sweeping over the harbour to the ocean through Sydney Heads, this beautifully restored and intuitively reimagined character home provides an enchanting sanctuary within footsteps of the pristine shores of Fairlight Beach. Graced with high ceilings, multi-paned sash windows and timber flooring, it features defined living and dining spaces, a family room and elegant timber-post and balustrade verandahs with mesmerising views from the upper level. Placed on 462sqm with three tiers of levelled north rear lawn and courtyards framed by tranquil, established landscaped gardens, it enjoys private access via a cool little cul-de-sac with Fairlight Village and Manly’s attractions only a short stroll away.
