Elegantly styled to perfection, this stunning period apartment at the back of the block offers a sophisticated entry into the market, or a fantastic investment in a highly sought after location.

This boutique block of just six sits in a highly central location close to Manly and the city. Unexpectedly serene, the living space is full of character and has a lovely welcoming aura, which is helped by period detailing that comes in the form of wide timber floorboards, decorative cornicing and an exposed brick fireplace.

The updated eat-in kitchen has clearly been designed for those with an eye for style, featuring a dazzling white-tiled splashback, a striking monochrome stone countertop and a gourmet gas stove and oven. Exposed light bulbs complete the sophisticated and on-trend style this room flaunts.

In excellent original condition, the bathroom offers the opportunity to add your own creative touch to the property.

Generously proportioned, the front bedroom features excellent built-ins and includes a ceiling fan. A welcome bonus is a lock-up garage and if you fancy eating outdoors, grab your plate and head down the stairs to the enclosed and sunny communal garden with picnic bench.

Great coffee is just at the end of the road, but one of the biggest drawcards is the easy access to the rest of the northern beaches and direct bus link into the city. A 10-minute drive and you’ll be in Manly, and on a good run, you’ll be at the harbour bridge in 20.
