*Located in the heart of vibrant Manly, this character-filled, double- brick Federation semi detached home offers both modern comforts and a piece of Manly’s history. On land that was sub-divided as part of Bassett-Darley Estate in the 1870′s, the house itself dates from the early twentieth century and is an example of houses built for more prosperous residents on the flat area south of the Corso. Enduring features of this era have been lovingly retained and restored, yet they blend seamlessly with modern touches. Combined they present a home that is filled with unique features typical of this era alongside a beach life style.

*The front entry porch is decorated with tessellated tiles and overlooked by the bay window of the main bedroom. Highlight windows above the original front door, the hall way door and the bay window all serve to create a very effective breezeway throughout the home. Wide, polished Kauri-pine floorboards run the length of the light filled hallway.

*Each of the three spacious bedrooms present decorative ceilings and have had sympathetic ceiling fans added for comfort. In addition, each bedroom contains an unobtrusive wardrobe. The bedrooms are newly carpeted, as are the formal and 2nd lounge rooms. A decorative fireplace is a highlight of the formal lounge room.

*The funky, modern eat-in kitchen and dining area is large and open – a perfect spot to host a dinner party. In addition, the original stove area has been retained and is currently utilized to house a wine rack – again adding to the personality of the home. A surprise off the kitchen is the 2nd living area at the rear of the home, overlooking a sunny grassed back yard, a lovely spot to enjoy the weekend newspapers.

*The bathroom is newly renovated and fresh, decorated in neutral tones. The home also contains an additional external WC and ample attic storage. Roman blinds throughout offer additional serenity and a true escape from the hub of Manly. Central heating throughout complements the many modern touches this home has to offer.

*The location of this delightful semi is unsurpassed with the great amenities of Manly at your doorstep. Walk to surf and harbour beaches, local schools, numerous cafes, shops, restaurants and bars or if you need to get to the city, again the wharf is just a block away. You will be delighted by the charm of this home and the unique opportunity to own your own piece of history.
