An enhanced early 1900s workers' cottage forms the foundation for this elegant dual-level semi that rests peacefully near the base of the exclusive Eastern Hill, just a few steps from picturesque Little Manly Beach. Freestanding to the northeast and adorned with exquisite period detailing, it features two living spaces, a Corian kitchen with European appliances, chic bathrooms and a palatial whole-floor parents' retreat with a private harbour-view balcony. Hidden away behind tropical landscaping with a near-level paved rear garden and an extensive sun-washed deck at the front, it is less than 100m from the silky sands of Little Manly Beach and Ripples Café, while Manly's humming village scene, direct city ferry service and internationally famous surfing beach are only a stone's throw away.
