A picture of tranquil seaside serenity and architect-designed perfection, this resort-like trophy residence provides a Zen-like sanctuary, just above Shelly Beach on the Eastern Hill. Nestled at the end of an exclusive cul-de-sac adjoining the tranquil grounds of St Patrick’s Estate, it is bordered by bushland reserve on two sides inhabited by abundant native birdlife and only one neighbour. Embraced by giant walls of glass and flooded with natural light, the residence offers supreme privacy while showcasing bushland vistas and gleaming northeast ocean and coastal views. Embracing two expansive and beautifully curated levels, it features sweeping living and dining spaces, a family and meals area, an indulgent parents’ retreat with a fitted home office, and seamless flow to a spectacular indoor/outdoor entertainers’ deck. Placed on 530sqm of landscaped gardens with an easycare near-level rear lawn, a series of sunlit terraces and a heated pool, it is only 400m from Shelly Beach and Cabbage Tree Bay Marine Sanctuary, and a short walk to Manly’s vibrant café and dining scene, city ferries and iconic surfing beach.
