Brimming with character thanks to a striking blend of period beauty and stylish modernisations, this Art Deco residence is a unique find in a stellar position. Occupying the whole top floor, it is a duplex-style home in a low-maintenance complex of just four.

Impeccably kept historic details are evidenced in the stunning stained glass and leadlight windows, picture rails, timber floorboards, cosy fireplace and ceiling plasterwork. Meanwhile, a style-savvy hand has injected a contemporary flair in the wallpaper feature and softly floating drapery.

A functional layout separates social zones from sleeping quarters, and washes the spacious living and dining rooms with superb northern light via oversized windows. An inbuilt window seat capitalizes on the sunny aspect, with vistas over the district serving as an added bonus and pleasant outlook.

A sparkling new kitchen is the height of sophistication, expertly combining soft-close white joinery with black handles, black sink and tapware and warm grey tones in the tiled splashback and generous stone benchtops.

Prominent features include automated lockup garage, internal laundry facilities within the fresh white bathroom, and a delightful common terrace area, perfect for enjoying al fresco meals. A couple of minutes stroll to Balgowlah Village and a range of transport options, this central home is just moments from Manly and a selection of beaches, positioning it as the perfect base to enjoy a most desirable coastal lifestyle.
