Steeped in rich history, this majestic two-storey terrace is adorned with exquisite period detailing and blessed with fabulous ocean views. A captivating blend of Federation elegance and rustic charm, it exudes grace throughout its substantial interiors.
Gorgeous stained-glass windows delicately frame the front door, and once inside, towering ceilings soar overhead dressed with intricate plasterwork. In every room, preserved highlights of its 1910 heritage are on exhibit. Picture rails line the walls, ceiling roses decorate pendant lighting, original fireplaces are in multiple rooms, and solid timber floors glisten with polish.
The ground floor is dedicated to family living, with multiple areas in and out accommodating flexible communal zones as well as private retreats. The front sunroom suits as a study or sitting room, and flows through two further open yet distinct rooms, lending themselves to casual and formal variations. A large dining zone spills through sliding doors to a paved wrap-around patio, where al fresco meals are seasoned with the sea breeze.
In homage to the era, a vintage bathroom houses an authentic clawfoot freestanding bath and dresser-style vanity, while an endearing rustic kitchen oozes an aura of home-cooked bliss, with a timber island benchtop, earthy palette and overhead rack for pots and pans. This too opens to the outdoors, extending the living and dining alternatives, whatever the weather.
Up the grand staircase, a series of bedrooms are endowed with airy dimensions and considerable light. In the rear bedroom, an adjoining sunroom creates a ready-made sitting or study zone. Two further bedrooms, one with robes, are bedecked with period beauty, while the bathroom in between employs frameless glass and a neutral palette to create a fresh and modern sanctuary.
Palatial in size and exquisite in appearance, the master bedroom commands prime position at the home's front, drinking in a mesmerizing aspect that extends across water from South Head all the way around to North Steyne's oceanic horizon. Equipped with enormous built-in robes, fireplace and large sunroom, it is a luxurious haven and parent's retreat.
In an exceptional position, this historic gem is just a short stroll from the vibrant hub of Manly, its manifold conveniences and iconic beach, hosting an idyllic lifestyle in a residence brimming with historic beauty. Rear lane access and room for 2 cars (STCA).
