17 Hillcrest Place, North Manly NSW 2100

Completely hidden from the street amid a veritable tropical rainforest, this enchanting residence is reminiscent of a far north coast hinterland retreat. Nestled amid near level landscaped tropical gardens with sun-dappled courtyards and waterfalls cascading into a goldfish and native fish ponds, the elegant single level homestead draws inspiration from its natural surrounds with modern finishes softened by the hues of earthy stones and timbers. Complete with a separate self-contained flat, it offers a rare sense of sanctuary in a tranquil coastal pocket with parks, schools, shopping and beaches only a short breath away.
