39 Collingwood Street, Manly

Architect-designed from the ground up to replicate a high-end New York-style warehouse conversion, this unique, dramatic and truly spectacular freestanding residence has been meticulously assembled right down to the finest detail. Wrapped in sweeping spreads of glass and crafted in an uber-chic ensemble of concrete, timber and exposed brick walls, it features lift access to the two living levels and a sun-drenched rooftop deck, integrated C-bus home automation that opens and shuts every door, window, shutter and the surround sound and air conditioning systems - all at the touch of a button via remote control. Forming a spectacular showpiece, the enormous living, dining and chef's kitchen areas reside as one under towering raked ceilings and open via electronically retractable floor-to-ceiling glass walls to create a grand-scale indoor/outdoor entertaining venue with an extensive private courtyard bathed in northern sun. Placed on near-level low-maintenance gardens designed to facilitate complete wheelchair accessibility, its highly coveted coastal address is a short level stroll to everything from trendy delis and eateries to Harris Farm Markets and Queenscliff Beach.
