Built in the 1920′s and overlooking yacht dappled North Harbour, this gorgeous Art Deco apartment oozes all the charm of yesteryear while showcasing the beauty of the local foreshore and leafy surrounds. In a boutique block of just four, it is private and peaceful with the water lapping at the shore and a big verandah to relax on. It feels like home.

The floor plan is functional as is spacious with light-filled living and dining rooms, and thoughtful design touches that maximise space. Carefully restored period features give a stand out elegance to the home with the rooms characterised by high ceilings, detailed cornices, wooden skirtings and floorboards. Plantation shutters have been added for extra privacy and a chic coastal feel, and an Art Deco glass front door gives a hint of stunning period charm to come.

The large renovated kitchen is as practical as it is good-looking with a stone benchtop, gas cooking and integrated stainless steel appliances. And continuing the allure of the period is the eye-catching renovated bathroom with en trend encaustic tiles and graceful fittings. Very handy internal laundry facilities are included and discreet behind cupboard doors they are out of sight from the casual observer.

Two double bedrooms with BIRS feature at the either end of the apartment. With the master showcasing those spectacular water views it’s a wonderful room to wake up in.

The jewel in the crown is the sublime location. With easy parking in Bolingbroke Parade, it’s a few steps along the Spit to Manly path before you enter the building under a canopy of Bougainvillea. Beaches, shopping, harbour pools, ferries and Manly’s vibrant coffee culture are all within easy walking distance. With spectacular views and in such a fantastic lifestyle locale, this character-filled beauty is a knockout.
