This spacious, single-level brick cottage with northern aspect is in fabulous condition, thanks to meticulous care and updates from its owners of 22 years.

Beyond the white picket fence at the front of the house is a lush green lawn, and a 50 year old Gum tree which throws shade onto an open terrace that provides the perfect spot for a morning cuppa and a read of the newspaper.

The versatile floorplan has positioned the living, dining, a home office and kitchen around the rear courtyard. Doors open up to merge indoors with outdoors, and create a truly private and peaceful space to bring the family together or entertain friends.

A gourmet and spacious kitchen has beige CaesarStone benchtops, and an adjoining laundry room with the sort of storage space that promises to make busy family life that little bit easier.

Three bedrooms are tucked away at the front of the house. Perfect for families with young children, built-ins are in every room, and the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and a modern en-suite. Matching in style is the immaculate family bathroom, with a frameless glass shower screen and rainwater showerhead, and sparkling white vanity.

This fabulous home is set on a peaceful, family-friendly street in the back parts of North Manly, which is fast becoming a Northern Beaches hotspot. Trendy cafes and boutique shops are popping up in this already convenient location near Warringah Mall, and it’s only a few minutes drive from Freshwater and Curl Curl beaches.
