26 Parkes Street, Manly Vale

Designed across two extensive floors to embrace the modern ideal of luxurious liveability, seamless indoor/outdoor functionality and streamlined flexibility, this impressive residence delivers an enchanting topical hideaway in a highly coveted coastal address.
Showcasing a sweeping open-plan domain with two living zones, a dedicated dining area and a stone island kitchen flowing effortlessly to a sun-dappled covered terrace, it is complemented by a lower-level living and dining space with a kitchenette.

Set on 487sqm with a prized north rear aspect and near-level lawns framed by exotic palms, beautifully arranged to create a tranquil, Zen-inspired sense of privacy, it is peacefully tucked away in one of the area's most sought-after streets, moments from shops, cafes, supermarkets, express city buses, parks, schools and the near-level bike path to Manly Beach.
