33 Quinlan Parade, Manly Vale

A beautifully arranged family residence and self-contained cottage, effectively two separate homes each with their own private enclosed gardens, present a rare and prized offering for multi-generational families or those seeking a family sanctuary paired with a lucrative income stream. The three bedroom house at the front and two bedroom cottage at the rear are both refreshingly bright and modern, unfolding through sweeping open-plan living and dining spaces before spilling out onto spectacular alfresco entertaining areas, with the front residence further distinguished by sweeping leafy northeast vistas. Set on 752sqm of near-level lawn, the property is positioned slightly on the high side of a premier, quiet leafy street, within a short stroll of playing fields, bush trails, two primary schools and city buses, while Warringah Mall and the beaches lie only a short drive away.
