Tucked away in a quiet and leafy nook in the eclectic hub of Manly is this level Victorian-style terrace with front and private back courtyards and the convenience of rear lane access.
Positioned in a true lifestyle location, stride out on foot and enjoy level walks to Manly’s famous surf beach, shops, cafes, ferries, buses and the Corso all mere metres away.
With a charming and stately street presence; this gorgeous home is full of heart-warming character, a tremendous opportunity awaits keen renovators to restore it to its former glory with DA approval for a second storey.
The extra security of all-round fencing invites you to leave the front and back doors open and relax in spacious living that evokes tranquillity with fresh ocean scents and cool sea breezes.
Opening from the street onto a level front lawn and garden, the front door resides under a paved undercover portico with fancy cast iron decorative features.
Equally impressive, but with the added grandeur of its considerable size is the back L-shaped courtyard. North-facing with the convenience of dedicated rear lane access to Smith Street, this paved courtyard offers the versatility of undercover and open-air areas, perfect for alfresco dining or sun lapping by the built-in brick BBQ.
Warm and welcoming with the astute elegance of a charming brick fireplace, the living room has a pleasant light-filled demeanour with sky-high ceilings.
Wander down the long hall to a spacious and well-appointed bedroom with floor-to-ceiling mirrored built-in wardrobes and quaint leafy views of the back courtyard.
A crisp original bathroom resides with a corner shower with glass recess and floor-to-ceiling tiles.
Natural light beams into the open-plan dining and kitchen, artfully defined by the convenience of a servery.
Highly functional in a compact U-shape, the kitchen is pristinely presented with tile splashbacks, laminate benchtops, an electric freestanding oven and space for a dishwasher/integrated laundry.
At the back of the home is a sunroom/study. Radiating in natural light, it opens onto the back courtyard through large glass sliding doors.
A fantastic opportunity perfect for first homebuyers, couples and downsizers or astute investors looking for high yield rentals. For more information contact James Haywood of Cunninghams Property.
