1 Edwin Street, Fairlight NSW 2094

This extraordinary dual-level Federation home in a peaceful pocket of Fairlight has been transformed into a luxurious family entertainer of epic proportions and impeccable style.

A wide, north-facing verandah framed by a beautiful Frangipani is the welcoming scene of this picture-perfect c1914 home, where many of the historical features have been retained including decorative ceilings and cornicing, timber fretwork and an open gas converted fireplace.

These beautiful details sit next to the hallmarks of a modern luxury entertainer. Exquisite open-plan, relaxed living in a modern setting, with a vaulted, tongue-in-groove ceiling that invites light to dance around the room and accentuates the character of the Spotted Gum floorboards.

Bi-fold doors open up to a sunny and private rear garden with an award-winning wet-deck pool and spa with Badu swimjets, and fully automated chlorination and cleaning system. A versatile limestone-paved terrace can double as an undercover carport or an all-weather entertaining area. The list of prized additions continues with ducted air-con, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and plantation shutters on all the windows.

The gourmet kitchen features induction cooktop, two Bosch pyrolytic ovens, top-of-the-range CaesarStone countertops and premium fittings that flaunt a modern industrial aesthetic – a look that is echoed in the main bathroom, with a custom-built Marri timber vanity and stone basin paired with rose-gold fixtures.

All of the bedrooms are incredibly spacious and include built-in robes and ceiling fans, two with luxurious en-suites. And a bonus living area could also be used as an impressive home office or a rumpus.

In this prized part of Fairlight, it's an easy walk into Manly or to Fairlight beach, shops and cafes. And the natural attractions around the harbour are on the doorstep for the entire family to enjoy.
