Grace and grandeur welcome you on arrival when entering the esteemed ‘Villa Porto’ boutique complex, located in one of Manly’s popular cul-de-sacs, just a few metres from Manly Beach. The foyer entry flaunts an old-world Tuscan feel and this sophisticated theme is beautifully carried throughout the home and surrounding grounds.

Blessed with blissful harbour cameos to one side and blooming gardens to the other, this exceptional home is brimming with natural light and ocean cross breezes, courtesy of a north-east facing orientation and multiple terraces.

With house-like proportions (189sqm), a superb layout spans across a free-flowing living and dining domain that draws you out to not one but two terraces, providing multiple spaces for al-fresco dining, entertaining or downtime at the end of a long day.

All throughout, the home’s compelling credentials as either a home base, bolt hole or investment are validated. From the vast master bedroom, a suite-style retreat with private balcony, large his and hers built-in robes and huge ensuite with separate bath and shower, to the additional two bedrooms that provide versatility, family-ready dimensions and private terraces.

An elegant kitchen, complete with integrated appliances and stone benchtops, is ready for culinary endeavors, while both bathrooms have sophisticated schemes for immediate enjoyment. Tasteful aesthetics transcend time, while the opportunity to stamp your own style if desired, is possible.

To address every conceivable need, an inspired list of features is headlined by a large internal laundry, DLUG, large storage room, intercom entry, ceiling fans, and internal lift access, in an address just footsteps from the Metropolitan flavour of Manly’s bustling heart.
