Remarkable in both size and features, and engaging at every turn, this free-standing Federation era home is the complete family package in a truly enviable locality. Charisma and comfort are the consistent theme throughout single-level interiors. Towering ceilings adorned with ornate plasterwork, picture rails, original timber floorboards, a vintage fireplace and stained-glass windows lend a glamorous touch, while considered upgrades such as custom joinery, ceiling fans, plantation shutters and beautifully renovated bathrooms with frameless glass finishes and full tiling offer a contemporary edge. With northern light touching the full length of the house, the atmosphere is bright and breezy, as family living spreads between formal and casual options. For neighbourly pop-ins, relaxed family nights and full-scale entertaining, the rear open domain adapts accordingly, smoothly flowing to a verandah, patio and lawn, extending the recreation options to outdoor territory. For quieter moments, the endearing front balcony gathers full sunlight on wintery afternoons, shaded by the enormous Frangipani come summertime. As if systematically ticking off every family must-have, the home is equipped with huge sub-floor storage, large laundry and unprecedented rear lane access with double garage. A few footsteps away, fabulous Fairlight Village serves up superb coffee, locally famous butchers and impressive boutiques, while Manly, its beaches and iconic ferry commute all lie in wait a short stroll away.
