From the lush green of Ivanhoe Park to the sparkling blue expanse of the sea, the views from this private top floor apartment are dazzling.

It has a well-designed layout that starts with a long hallway offering two generous bedrooms and a fresh, modern bathroom with convenient laundry facilities. But it is all leading to the show-stopping finale – the north-facing, open-plan living space with sunshine and views from every corner. Views that are framed beautifully by new glass doors that stretch the length of the living room.

The apartment has high ceilings that add to the sense of space, and the modern kitchen offers a sleek stone benchtop with a place to perch. When friends drop by, the balcony is a great spot to fire up the BBQ and catch up on the news. Early birds will love the vantage point it offers to watch the sunrise over the ocean.

Plantation shutters have been added throughout that bring a chic coastal feel and little touches such as the brand new ceiling fans and luxuriously soft carpet in the bedrooms make this a wonderfully comfortable home.

Off-street parking is included in this low rise security block, and private paths in each direction can take you swiftly into Manly via Sydney Rd or through the park at Tower Street and down to the wharf. With such close proximity to the beach, cafes and fun, it may be hard to tear yourself away for work.
