Setting a benchmark for urban design and glamorous luxury living in one of Manly's most exclusive beachside streets, this BKH Architects-inspired semi combines cutting-edge architecture and bespoke designer craftsmanship with resort-like tropical gardens and a private north rear aspect to create the ultimate beachside sanctuary. Built from the ground-up in 2014 by the award-winning Northern Building, it soars across three exquisite levels with multiple living spaces flowing effortlessly to a central courtyard, private tropical deck and a sparkling solar-heated pool. Crafted from select stone and timber in an earthy embrace of relaxed sophistication, it features a deluxe fully-integrated kitchen, three ensuites, customised home cinema, volumes of storage plus an ensemble of the latest appointments and technology. Placed on 273sqm of exquisitely landscaped gardens with two street frontages, its sought-after setting on the flat of Manly is only a five minute stroll from the rolling waves at Manly Beach.
