In a prized pocket of Fairlight on the outskirts of Manly, this delightful dual-level home with exquisite period detailing casts the impression of a sophisticated family entertainer.

Spacious and filled with light, the layout has been meticulously updated to create a practical and luxurious home for the modern family.

Living, dining and kitchen work together as one fluid and functioning space. A potbelly fireplace and timber floorboards add to the comfortable and welcoming qualities of the space, while the large bi-fold doors that open up to the garden allow natural light to penetrate every corner.

The perfectly-oriented north-facing garden will delight every member of the family, with a lawn for the kids to run around on, an alfresco patio for dinners that linger on into the evening, and a covered pergola for when a little respite is needed from the sun.

The gourmet kitchen will impress with Miele appliances, integrated Liebherr fridge/freezer and a breakfast bar for easy food prep and casual family brekkies.

A second living area at the front of the house allows that little bit of extra breathing space, as well as the addition of another versatile room that could double as a study or fifth bedroom.

Impeccably appointed, the generous bedrooms include built-ins and ceiling fans, the master with a huge walk-in robe and a charming window seat, while the upstairs bathroom features underfloor heating.

Ideally situated in this thriving suburb, Fairlight offers easy access to stunning harbourside beauty. Shops, schools and parks are nearby, and Manly is a short walk away.
