With immaculate presentation and a versatile and spacious layout, this beautifully-renovated apartment is located on the quiet, south side of Balgowlah, close to North Harbour Reserve. Defined by high ceilings, elegant dark timber floorboards and leafy outlooks to the front and rear, this delightful residence sits within a boutique block of just four apartments. Incredibly peaceful throughout, one of the standout attractions is the pretty garden that extends outwards from the living space and, though not on title, is used exclusively by the owner. Framed and shaded by a beautiful Frangipani, it is accessed via bi-folds, encouraging excellent indoor/outdoor liveability. With a versatile layout seldom seen in apartments, the spacious L-shaped living area can be configured in various ways, offering plenty of space for a dining setting either here or in the kitchen. A superbly appointed eat-in kitchen includes Smeg gas cooking and oven, as well as stone benchtops and access to the side of the building. Both bedrooms are well proportioned and are serviced by a chic bathroom featuring premium fittings and stylish feature tiles on the floor. The block backs onto a reserve for the kids to play on, and there's a huge amount of lockable storage on offer, plus a laundry that's shared with just one other owner. Although public transport, shops and the bustle of Sydney Road are a short walk away, the street is very quiet, offering plenty of on-street parking. The stunning Manly to Spit walk that offers dynamic views of the harbour is a short stroll away. Clontarf is a 5-minute drive, or Manly is a 20 minute walk along the Fairlight boardwalk.
