1/34 Quinton Road, Manly NSW 2095

Sweeping views take centre-stage upon entering this stunning 1930s lower-floor duplex but if you can manage to tear your eyes away for a second you'll find a gorgeous light-filled home that promises a lifestyle only imagined.

From the elevated vantage point of the vast sunny entertainers' deck, panoramic views down to Manly beach and North Steyne provide a sparkling backdrop to this bright, spacious abode. North-east facing, this fabulous alfresco entertaining space adds a whole other living zone. Fully-covered and with gas bbq connection, it makes it difficult to imagine eating or entertaining anywhere else, with sunrises and sunsets watched from here providing the perfect bookends to the day.

Original period features have been carefully preserved with high decorative ceilings throughout and art deco porthole cut-outs in the combined living/dining room. The modern Caesarstone kitchen includes stainless steel appliances with a well-planned design and just enough separation from the living area.

Positioned behind the living area are two large airy bedrooms, both with ceiling fans and built-in robes. The master adjoins a contemporary newly-renovated ensuite which features a luxurious bath and rainforest shower. Adjacent to the living area is a versatile third bedroom which takes in the stunning views and provides flexibility to the floor plan, also lending itself to use as a home office or sunroom.

Ducted gas heating keeps the home cosy, with an internal laundry and second renovated bathroom with shower completing the considered, easy-living floor plan.

Located on a quiet, sought-after heritage street, this lovely home comes with a rare single lock-up garage and large shared rear garden with level lawns. If you can bear to leave, the buzz of Manly is tantalisingly close with the beach, harbour, shops, eateries, swimming pool, Manly Oval, tennis courts, ferries and bus transport all within minutes' walk.
