Contemporary updates have worked wonders on this second-floor apartment, with bright and spacious interiors that benefit from a substantial layout configured in a way that really works for the space.

Located on the quiet, family-focused side of Manly, the apartment sits within a well-maintained block on a beautiful, tree-lined street.The colour palette is fresh and simple, with plush new carpet and freshly painted walls.

Light streams into the living area thanks to a cleverly-placed skylight, and things are kept breezy year round by a set of sliding doors that open up to a large undercover balcony, with a delightful view of the street where tall gums provide privacy and shade.

The rest of apartment continues to exceed expectations, with a well-appointed kitchen with integrated stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher and microwave. And the bedrooms are tucked away around a corner, giving the feeling of being in a house.

Recently renovated, the bathroom sparkles with fresh white wall tiles, and contemporary fittings for bath, shower and vanity. A rare commodity for apartments, there's a good-sized laundry room, and there's even a security car space under the building.

From this premium address, it will be easy to unlock the attractions that Manly holds. The Boy Charlton swimming pool is just around the corner. Queenscliff beach is an easy 10-minute stroll away, or hop on a bike and take the bike path to Manly you'll be there in less than 15 minutes.
