46 Daintrey Street, Fairlight NSW 2094

With an endearing air that stems from its historic workers cottage roots, this quaint home comes complete with a quintessential beach house character. In a prime site that is elevated enough to capture parkland outlooks, yet close enough to the flats to make for an easy beach stroll, it offers the sublime lifestyle for which this tightly-held enclave is renowned.

Flanked by outdoor spaces, everyday living moves into al fresco territory, from the north-facing terrace with its distinctly European flavour, to the child-friendly yard, sun deck and paved patio, and charming front deck.

Inside, the inviting living spaces are headlined by high ceilings and a breezy flow, offering both sunlit rumpus or study area plus generous family room. Nightly dining is a scene of casual elegance, warmed by the stunning original fireplace or opened up to the balmy evenings via beautiful French doors. An impressive renovation equips the large kitchen with all the qualities needed for family-sized entertaining, from integrated dishwasher and induction cooktop to abundant stone benchtops and soft-close cabinetry.

Bedrooms are blessed with ample proportions, ceiling fans and built-in robes, while the central bathroom lists separate bath, frameless glass shower and brilliant skylight among its highlights.

Complete with air-conditioning, underhouse storage, veggie patch and outhouse, this engaging abode borders a side laneway for an ideal corner position that is only moments to the best that Manly has to offer.
