45 Southern Cross Way, Allambie Heights NSW 2100

Positioned in a magical setting that backs immediately onto the gorgeous bushland that surrounds Manly Dam and with a stunning outlook with ocean views stretching all the way down to Manly Beach, this striking family home offers something special.

With multiple living spaces and four alfresco terraces to choose from, it's a home where a family can settle, grow and evolve over time.

Upon entry, a custom-built spiral staircase encased in a curved glass brick wall sets the tone in the spacious living room. The adjoining north-facing terrace makes a cozy reading spot, and a round decorative glass window is typical of the unique detailing throughout this lovely residence.

A vast family room to the rear includes a well-maintained kitchen that spills out onto an undercover entertaining terrace, which will comfortably host even the largest group of family and friends.

Surrounded by tropical plants and trees, and only the sounds of the birds and the bush to distract you, it's clear why this location is so special.

At the rear, an elevated studio sits separately from the house and backs straight out into the bush, making it a secluded retreat for teenagers or a peaceful work studio.

Two modern bathrooms and three spacious and luxurious bedrooms are on entry level. And up the spiral staircase is another loft-style bedroom with adjoining balcony.

A triple garage with internal access, and huge amounts of storage throughout means there is plenty of space for the family toys and equipment.

This lovely property sits within an extremely family-friendly neighbourhood with cafes, schools and parks in very close proximity.
