FIND. Peacefully poised on the edge of Queenscliff Lagoon, 'Marinella' (home by the sea) is a grand and elegant beachside sanctuary. Resting on a sprawling 752sqm block that offers direct lagoon access and is flanked by open public reserve, this home is hidden away from the world, yet is just 200 metres from the beach.
LOVE. This home was built using sandstone salvaged from Dalley's Castle, one of Manly's grandest homes, then named 'Marinella'. A highly sophisticated residence with incredible lagoon outlooks, a fully self-contained studio plus a teenager's retreat, this is a versatile home that works perfectly for multi-generational living, and will provide your family with a lifestyle that has no comparison. Walk out of the rear gate and straight onto the lagoon reserve, where you can take a short stroll down to the beach without having to cross a road.
