Masterfully renovated and restored, Fairlight’s charm comes to life in this grand family residence. Magnificent ocean views of Manly and Shelley Beach, sun drenched balconies with multiple alfresco areas, prized dual street access and a double lock-up garage are all compelling features of this outstanding property.

Commanding immediate attention with its salute to a world gone by thanks to its soft neutral interiors of light, texture and wide hardwood floors complementing the original period features, the grandeur of this home includes: a cast iron fireplace, leadlight windows, tessellated tiles, sandstone fixtures, tall decorative ceilings, drop cord light switches, stained glass, picture rails, and exquisite timber framed windows.

Featuring four separate king-sized bedroom suites, each offering the convenience of their own bathroom, this truly versatile home has a number of living quarters and retreat areas perfect escapes for parents, children or guests. A luxurious office/study runs the full length of the master bedroom suite and is spoilt with prevailing breezes and natural light, served by newly installed French louvres. One of the four bedroom suites is a self-contained apartment complete with kitchen, separate bathroom containing a laundry, enormous open plan living space and private courtyard.

Moving to the upstairs living zone, the surprise and delight of this home takes over as you turn each corner. Embodying a formal lounge with a fully functioning fireplace, breathtaking views are just steps away as you walk through the open floor entertainer’s kitchen, leading out onto an expansive deck through full length bi-fold glass doors. Here, views from Manly to Shelley Beach through to St Patrick’s Estate steal and captivate your attention.

Sitting on a low-maintenance fully fenced backyard and home to landscaped gardens filled with soft tunes of lorikeets, the idyllic indoor/outdoor coastal lifestyle is effortlessly presented in this peaceful and private locale.

Leave the cars at home and enjoy a stroll of mere minutes to surf and harbour beaches, bike paths, the famous Manly to The Spit walkway, acclaimed restaurants and bars, schools, shops, ferries and city buses.

Several other unique features include: steam shower adjoining master bedroom, in-floor heating, powder room underneath stairs, “Alice through the looking glass” hidden bathroom, main entrance digital security door, rainwater tank and external security cameras.
