Perched high on Fairlight headland and directly opposite the harbour, this over-sized period apartment offers the intoxicating notion of being able to walk to the beach in less than two minutes.

Situated just over the road from Fairlight beach and a five-minute walk to Manly Wharf, this stunning location offers a lifestyle beyond compare. And it does so without sacrificing space, light, privacy or style.

Set on the top floor of a boutique block with dual street access via Commonwealth Parade. Generous floorplan, allowing free and easy movement between rooms.

High ceilings, picture rails and an open fireplace are a nod to building’s historic heritage. While windows along three sides of the apartment ensure natural light is never in short supply. This is particularly apparent in the north-facing sunroom, which serves as a light-filled setting for a dining room.

Both bedrooms are equipped with built-ins, are generous in size (the master is king-sized), and give a visual demonstration of just how close the harbour is, with views that look out to Manly Cove and across the harbour.

A separate kitchen with gas cooking, dishwasher and concealed laundry facilities sits alongside the bathroom with bath and overhead shower. There’s storage space internally as well as a communal lock-up storage room at the side of the building.

Dip into the magic of Manly at leisure. A dizzying array of beaches, cafes, restaurants and shops are at your fingertips. And the city commute couldn’t be much easier, with Manly Wharf just a five-minute walk away.
