Tucked in one of the quietest nooks of the Manly district, yet central to the best the bustling hub has to offer, lies this attractive beachside apartment. One of only four in a double-brick Art Deco building, the first floor home hosts low-maintenance living at its finest.

Polished timber floors, crisp white walls and chic updates furnish this home with a contemporary aesthetic, combining with abundant natural light and high ceilings to fill the home with a fresh and summery atmosphere.

A flowing living zone moves from the spacious lounge through the eat-in kitchen and out into al fresco territory, with a totally private terrace offering sunlit space for barbequing, dining and a potted garden. If entertaining is on the cards, the stainless steel appliance and gas cooking in the kitchen will rise to the challenge, amidst a classic scheme of off-white stone benches, white joinery and glass splashback.

Northern light follows you through the entire length of the apartment, illuminating the updated bathroom and continuing in the large bedroom with built-in robes. Further custom cabinetry is found in the adjoining study, ideally positioned to capture a north-easterly aspect for a bright and inspiring home office.

Just a few minutes walk from restaurants, bars, cafes, stores and the iconic ferry commute, this home is poised to host the most enviable of lifestyles, where each day starts by grabbing the board and heading straight for the ocean, and ends sleeping with the soundtrack of the surf.
