Exquisite period detailing and bright and flowing interiors are the defining features of this delightful semi-detached home. Situated on the fringe of bustling Manly amidst the village vibe of Fairlight, it hosts an idyllic beachside lifestyle, with scope to inject your own stamp of style. From the tessellated tiles on the quaint porch to the original fireplace taking centre stage in the living room, this home's proud history is evidenced throughout. Overhead, picture rails and towering ceilings with intricately detailed plasterwork make for a beautiful and breezy atmosphere, combining with plantation shutters and original wide-plank timber floors for a contemporary coastal twist on the Federation scheme. Bedrooms are roomy retreats with large built-in robes, while a full-height attic area provides storage and further utility, plus scope to convert to two additional bedrooms and a rumpus room as a second storey conversion (STCA). Everything from entertaining friends after a day on the beach to quiet casual meals are catered for in the luminous kitchen, replete with gas cooking, stone benchtops and shaker-style joinery. A superb outdoor room provides the most tempting alternative for nightly dining, with ample space for an outdoor lounge set from which to admire the landscaped gardens. Within an easy stroll of surf beaches, amidst cafes, parks and beachy boutiques, the local lifestyle is something to envy. Meanwhile the daily commute is easy with the option of regular buses nearby or a quick ride to the wharf for an iconic ferry trip to town.
