20 Montpelier Place, Manly

Architect-designed to echo the natural beauty of its sublime coastal setting, this state-of-the-art coastal retreat basks in brilliant northerly sunshine and sweeping ocean and coastal panoramas. Delivering a rare balance of streamlined luxury, resort-style entertaining and Zen-like tranquillity, the residence crowns an exclusive Eastern Hill cul-de-sac deep within the peaceful and tranquil grounds of the picturesque St Patrick's Estate. Spanning two glass-embraced levels with a lift access to all floors and the basement parking, its multiple living spaces capture tranquil leafy outlooks and glistening open sea views, while flowing effortlessly to a northeast-facing terrace, a central indoor/outdoor entertaining deck, and a private courtyard with a heated pool framed by exquisitely landscaped gardens. Enveloped by bushland reserve on two sides with only one neighbour, the setting is serenely private-disturbed only by the whisper of the ocean and the sounds of native birdsong. Despite the sanctuary-like feel, it lies just 400m from Shelly Beach and Cabbage Tree Bay Marine Sanctuary and within a 10-minute stroll of Manly Beach's cosmopolitan cafe, dining and lifestyle mecca.
