One of the last of its kind, this gorgeous freestanding beach bungalow has been stylishly enhanced for modern liveability and comes complete with DA approval for a magnificent three-storey designer haven just one street back from Manly Beach. Evoking the charm of yesteryear with high ceilings, timber flooring and cast-iron fireplaces, it also offers the modern refinements of a sleek gas kitchen, chic bathroom and ducted air conditioning. Nestled amid exquisitely landscaped tropical gardens with private, sun-drenched near-level rear lawns, it rests peacefully in a one-way street just a minute barefoot from the sand and surf, a three-minute wander to the glitz and glam of Manly’s vibrant village hub, and only six minutes to the city ferry terminal.
