32 Denison Street, Manly NSW 2095

Nestled in a charming row of Victorian terraces, at the leafy end of Denison St, this cosy semi offers lifestyle and convenience in spades. Within footsteps of iconic Manly Beach, shops, restaurants and cafes, and vibrant Manly Corso, it's also within strolling distance of Manly Wharf and direct ferry access to the city. Everything you need is right at your doorstep. Rare dual-zone status means it can also be converted for use as a shop, opening a world of possibilities.

The home's façade provides huge street appeal with traditional cast iron lace work trim and a character bay window. Entry is via a picture-perfect courtyard large enough for a table and chairs and under the umbrella of a mature Frangipani tree.

Step inside into an open living/dining room with a light and airy feel created by the high ceilings, timber floorboards and natural light. Original features add character and charm, including a working fireplace and intricate ceiling roses with the bay window converted to a cosy window seat.

Upstairs is split-level and offers two good-size bedrooms; the first overlooking the north-facing rear courtyard and the second a loft-style master which includes wardrobe storage and a skylight.

To the rear of the house sits a tidy bathroom and a neat European-style eat-in kitchen with freestanding oven and gas cook top. While both are neat and functional there is obvious potential to modernise and add value with DA approval already secured for renovations.

A north-facing rear courtyard provides a sunny secluded spot for breakfast, a bbq or sundowners. It also features a convenient outdoor shower for washing off the sand from the beach. To the back of the courtyard, a separate studio offers additional floor plan flexibility and could be utilised as a home office, music room or even guest accommodation.

Combining a vibrant and convenient lifestyle with peace and privacy, this cosy charmer is a rare find indeed.
