Undeniably graceful to its core, this freestanding Federation cottage has been loved by the same family for 35 years and is perfectly positioned to embrace a remarkable lifestyle in an exclusive location. Having been architecturally developed over the years, the addition of extra accommodation and living space, as well as a self-contained studio has shaped a versatile and unique home that exudes a rich charisma rarely seen. The spacious layout, the intimate nooks and corners, and the way indoors interacts with outdoors, make this delightful home as perfectly suited to relaxed family life as it is to hosting lively gatherings with friends and family. To the front, spacious light-filled living and dining is enhanced by high ceilings, oak floorboards, a decorative fireplace, and connects to a north-facing courtyard – the ideal spot for alfresco family meals. To the rear, a well-equipped kitchen and casual living room gives way to an enchanting garden. Relax under the shade of the beautiful Frangipani tree and bask in the tranquillity while the kids play on the lawn. The self-contained studio, with bathroom, kitchen and separate bedroom is a versatile space that can be used as guest accommodation or even for additional income. There’s off-street parking – a welcome bonus, although, you won’t need the car very much. Perfectly placed within the heart of the welcoming community of Fairlight, shops, bus stops and cafes on Sydney Road are just footsteps away. Manly is a 20-minute walk from here, and this highly convenient location is close to schools, parks and the iconic vistas, beaches and walkways of Sydney harbour. Full styling by Amazema
