Having undergone a contemporary transformation, this gorgeous weatherboard semi has been given a new lease of life.

Sumptuous light-soaked interiors graced with high ceilings are set in this highly convenient location within easy walking distance of Manly.

Gorgeous spotted gum floorboards lead the way through the luminous and sophisticated living and dining space, which is defined by crisp white walls and an easy open-plan design that allows you to float from one area to another with little effort. The sleek entertainer’s kitchen features sparkling CaesarStone benchtops, a bold green splashback, gas cooking and a handy breakfast bar, perfect for debriefing from the day over a glass of wine.

Grab your plate from the kitchen bench and a few steps will take you through wide bi-fold doors to an alfresco deck where nightly meals can be shared under the stars. Steps lead upwards to a sunny lawn, and then further up to another alfresco deck with a lovely view of the district.

The bathroom shares the elegant aesthetic seen in every room, with travertine floor tiles, a contemporary frameless showerscreen with rainwater showerhead, and a large and luxurious bathtub for a hard-earned soak.

The sun-drenched front bedroom benefits from the northern-aspect, whereas the back bedroom retains some of the detailing from the original house, a nod to the building’s heritage.

Heaps of attic and underhouse storage, as well as off-street parking for two cars round up the package that is sweetened further by the close proximity to Manly, and the ease in which you can travel to other parts of the beaches or even the city.
