59 Alexander Street, Manly NSW 2095

Tucked behind a picture-perfect white picket fence sits this beautifully-restored semi-detached home. Boasting gracious, house-like proportions, it offers the ultimate beachside lifestyle in the quiet tree-lined surrounds of tightly-held Alexander Street.

Circa 1915 this gorgeous home has been sympathetically updated so modern conveniences are gently integrated with the refined period features including high patterned ceilings, picture rails, polished floorboards, timber fretwork and a leadlight front door.

The covered north-facing front porch offers a delightful sunny setting overlooking the paved level garden. Inside reveals three bedrooms, all with built-in robes and ceiling fans with an elegant bay window in the master.

Recently-renovated, the airy bathroom with its extra-large shower is a tranquil sanctuary, enlivened by a statement encaustic tile floor.

To the rear are the living areas, capitalising on the easy indoor/outdoor flow afforded by the private paved garden. An outdoor shower washes off the sand from the beach and a long built-in bench is tailor-made for savouring a coffee with the weekend papers.

Opening out onto the garden is the combined kitchen/living /dining area, perfect for casual meals and entertaining. With its Caesarstone island, stainless steel European appliances, including freestanding gas oven, and ample storage the heart of the home never looked so good.

The generous main living room with stone fireplace and cosy slow combustion fire completes this beautiful home with timeless appeal.

Alexander Street's highly desirable location makes the attractions of the area just a level stroll away with restaurants and cafes, Manly beach, the new Boy Charlton pool, golf course and transport at the doorstep.
