-Only very occasionally are such generous homes of this calibre available in Fairlight. The double storey home, with bull nose verandah and leadlight panels in the front door, is handsome and striking. Inside, you will be delighted by the space, light and superb attention to detail offered by this beautiful property.

-Downstairs, accommodation is very flexible and is currently configured as two spacious bedrooms, a formal dining room and a very generous second living room. Character features such as a bay window, architraves, ceiling roses, picture rails and cast iron fireplaces beautifully enhance the home.

-An architect designed renovation has completely transformed the property, adding a sun-drenched open plan living and gourmet kitchen area downstairs. No expense has been spared, with WA hardwood floors, ceiling height windows, bi-fold doors, and a jet master fireplace. The kitchen has a six burner SMEG cook top and a fusion of CaesarStone and stainless steel bench-tops.

-Preparing meals and entertaining friends and family in this home is a delight with an uninhibited view of the garden and heated marble-glass finished pool. Bi-fold doors access the alfresco dining and landscaped rear yard. Off the pool is a workshop which contains an addition WC and sink and could easily be converted to a cabana or a teenage retreat.

-Upstairs, is the spacious main bedroom with his and hers wardrobes; and a Juliet balcony which affords a beautiful night-time district view. A generous ensuite offers twin marble vanities and a double shower with a frameless glass shower-screen.

-A large second bedroom on this level is currently utilised as a study, but again this space is very flexible. There is also a private sun-terrace, perfect for reading a book or enjoying a quiet cup of coffee.

-This home is beautiful and practical throughout. Much consideration has been given to the requirements of family living in a stunning home and the results speak for themselves. All of the practicalities have been accommodated with hall length cupboards, under eave and under stair storage, an internal laundry and granite main bathroom and WC downstairs.

-A cul-de-sac location, easy walk to Fairlight shops, Manly West School and the ferry simply ensures that this is the perfect family home.

-Georgi Coward and Kylie Mounsey of Cunninghams Property are marketing this home.
