Rarely do you come across a brilliantly renovated apartment with superior inclusions that has so successfully managed to retain all the charm and character inclusions of the Art-Deco period. The Checkers is one of Manly’s finest examples of Art-Deco architecture – the entrance is marked by grand columns and terrazzo stairs. This secure building is located directly between South Steyne and the harbour – meters from many restaurants, bars and shops, and a level stroll to Shelly Beach – an unsurpassed location. There’s no need for the car as everything you need is within a five minute level walk. The owners of this apartment have lovingly retained all character inclusions such as pressed metal ceiling, leadlight windows and doors and an ornamental fireplace – soak up the history without forgoing any modern conveniences! The stunning bathroom has been completed with beautiful Italian travertine mosaic tiles and quality features including a dual system shower, wiring and insulation plus new plumbing to make this a wonderful place to retreat at the end of the day. A gas kitchen with Miele appliances and solid double-layer Caesarstone bench tops and breakfast bar intergrate seamlessly with the living area. Soft close draws and doors ensure functionality and comfort in the combined living area. Storage and space are not compromised in this apartment, with a concealed laundry off the hallway and custom cabinetry in the study/sunroom and bi-fold built-ins in the main bedroom. Complementing the original leadlight windows and doors are the new louvre windows further adding light and capturing lovely sea breezes throughout the apartment. This is your opportunity to secure this apartment offering all modern conveniences in the heart of Manly
