86 Addison Road, Manly NSW 2095

Timeless period grandeur and a complete architect-designed remastering have combined brilliantly to transform this c1901 Federation semi into a bespoke low-maintenance designer lifestyle haven on Manly’s exclusive Eastern Hill. Freestanding to the northeast and flowing across three exquisite levels, the house-like residence centres around a deluxe stone island kitchen and extensive living and dining space flowing seamlessly to a Vergola-covered entertainers' terrace with a stone wet bar and private leafy outlooks. Raw materials such as select stone and timber add to its inherent warmth and charm, while heated hydronic flooring, air conditioning and remote-controlled skylights ensure maximum modern comfort and year-round climate control. Complete with an indulgent main bedroom suite, spectacular basement retreat area, private sunny front lawn and private rear lane access to the parking, its tranquil setting is within a three-minute stroll of the beach at Manly Cove or secluded Little Manly Beach, and Manly’s ferry wharf, cosmopolitan village eateries and world-famous ocean beach are just over a five-minute wander down the road.
