* Exemplifying a rare period beauty, this meticulously presented first-floor apartment is set to the rear in an oasis of quiet, just metres from the beach. With generous light-filled interiors and private lock-up garage, this charming residence offers appealing beachside living.

* Within, beautiful sash windows direct natural sunlight into every corner of this home, which has a warmly inviting ambience. One of only nine in a boutique, period apartment block, there are no common walls so privacy and tranquillity is assured.

* The main living area is generously proportioned and incorporates ample space for dining, which in turn flows through to the faultless kitchen with gas cooking and European laundry facilities. There is also a large outdoor drying area, which is a great boon bearing in mind rising electricity costs and eco-friendly living.

* Both the bedrooms are large and the master comes with built-in robes and double French doors that open out to a versatile sunroom. Currently set up as a flexible home office as well as accommodating the occasional overnight guest, this additional room with its pretty frangipani outlook is sunny, airy, spacious and welcoming.

* The contemporary bathroom is absolutely pristine and comes with full bath and overhead shower. With high ceilings, picture rails, defined ceiling panels and glossy traditional wood floors throughout, this home has extensive period charm.

* Situated in an ultra-convenient location with vibrant Manly just a few minutes stroll away, there are myriad cafes, restaurants and bars to enjoy. Join in the friendly beachside community activities that are ever popular. With immediate access to CBD ferry and bus transport, this property would be perfect for first-time buyers, executive singles and astute investors.
