2/55 Balgowlah Road, Fairlight NSW 2094

Taking up the entire floor of a block of only three, this sensational home flaunts an exceptional layout that employs light and space to dazzling effect, and places it firmly within a class of its own.

Immediately on entry of the second floor home, the brilliant north-easterly orientation makes itself known across the luminous interiors. Open living areas are positioned to capitalise on the ideal aspect, as fresh coastal breezes cross the balcony to fill the large, inviting domain. A superb kitchen renovation is headlined with Smeg appliances and soft-close handle-free joinery, a magnet for friends and family and the hub of the home.

As though entering a separate wing, the bedrooms can be sealed off entirely from the living arena for optimum peace and quiet, each with built-in robes and easily accessing the chic bathroom with separate WC. All throughout this impressive abode, the hallmarks of a considered renovation are on display, with details such as shadow-line cornicing and custom joinery providing the most stylish of finishing touches.

An internal laundry and lockup garage supply impressive storage and convenience, while an additional carspace in front of the garage is a welcome bonus. Outdoor living is part of the package, with a gorgeous communal garden, lawn and large dining deck a noteworthy feature and summertime staple, enhanced by the proximity to parklands, Manly Aquatic Centre and the beach.
