25 Margaret Street, Fairlight NSW 2094

Few residences capture the majesty and grandeur of Australia's early heritage as beautifully as this meticulously restored c1910 Federation. Soaring sculpted ceilings, elaborate leadlight windows, cast iron fireplaces and original wide timber floorboards set the scene throughout an effortlessly spacious layout that showcases elegant formal areas and an extensive casual living space flowing to a covered alfresco entertaining area and private level easycare lawn. Capturing views to the harbour and Sydney Heads from the upper level, it is secluded in one of the area's most exclusive tree-lined streets within footsteps of the harbour foreshore and a short stroll to Manly's world-class beaches, city ferry terminal and cosmopolitan fine-dining hub.
