4/34 Pacific Street, Manly NSW 2095

When a blue stretch of ocean is visible from your front gate, you can rest assured that your address comes complete with an unbeatable lifestyle. 'North Steyne House' is a well-maintained, easycare block of only eight with rear lane access, and as the name implies, is barely a minute's walk to the sands of iconic North Steyne Beach.

Bright and fresh and with its own private entrance, this home is more than worthy of its idyllic location. Chocolate-stained timber floors lie beneath crisp white walls, capped with high ceilings that are dressed in a combination of period plasterwork and timber paneling. Plantation shutters as internal doors allow a breezy cross-flow of the seabreeze to reach every nook, and continue even when privacy's needed.

A superb kitchen renovation showcases glossy white joinery, expertly designed with soft-close features, semi-integrated dishwasher and clever gas strut overhead cabinets for easily accessible storage. The white stone benchtops wrap the corner to act as a breakfast bar or study nook for impressive area optimization. This theme of considered design continues in the renovated bathroom, a sophisticated monochromatic scheme complete with laundry facilities.

Each bedroom enjoys generous space allocation, as do the inviting social zones for living and dining. Barbeque cooking on the balcony will be a summer staple, perfect for post-beach pop-ins. Footsteps from buses, cafes, shops and parklands, convenience and an enviable lifestyle are all part of the package.
