16/29 Victoria Parade, Manly NSW 2095

When you can see the ocean from your front gate, you know you're in a good spot. Nestled within the perfectly manicured grounds of a nearly new block, this stunning second-floor apartment is positioned on the exclusive, eastern side of Manly.

Walk out of the front door and be standing on Manly beach in less than a minute. Or head the other direction and within three minutes be at Manly Wharf, ready to jump on the iconic Manly ferry to the city.

Showcasing beautiful, contemporary interiors illuminated by the streaming light of some well-placed skylights, this lovely residence is a scene of casual sophistication.

A split-level design begins with open-plan living, presented with a soft neutral palette and a Juliette balcony to keep a refreshing coastal breeze flowing at all times. The modern kitchen flaunts ILVE gas cooking, a concealed laundry room, and a handy breakfast bar for casual mealtimes.

The generous double-sized bedrooms are both comfortably equipped with soft carpet and built-ins. The master is a superb mezzanine-style retreat that is beautifully lit and includes a whole wall of storage space.

In keeping with the contemporary presentation throughout, the crisp white bathroom features a large standing shower. And ducted air-conditioning, video intercom and a secure parking space with extra space for storage means every detail is taken care of.

Considering its central location, peace prevails throughout. Tucked back from the street, once inside, there are no audible signals of the bustling activity that continues on in this absolute cracker of a lifestyle location.
