35 Bower Street, Manly

Architecturally designed and master built to blend in with its natural rainforest-like landscape, this superbly crafted designer residence evokes the tranquil ambience of a resort-like North Coast hinterland retreat in Manly's most exclusive and sought-after cul-de-sac. Bounded by bushland reserve on two sides and boasting direct access to picturesque Shelly Beach via adjacent reserve, the residence soars across two extensive levels with giant windows embracing its enchanting backdrop and leaf-filtered ocean views, and raw materials such as select stone and timber all collaborating to create a sense of Zen-like calm and relaxed luxury. Placed on 828sqm with exquisitely landscaped gardens framing near level rear lawn and private alfresco entertaining areas with a sparkling pool, it offers an irresistible mix of peace, privacy, exclusivity and resort-style luxury with Manly Beach and its cosmopolitan lifestyle playground only a short stroll away.
