41 East Esplanade, Manly

An iconic landmark residence of unrivalled elegance, sophistication and style, this majestic 1871 Victorian terrace has been meticulously restored and architecturally remastered to provide a designer lifestyle residence for the ages. One of the first grand clergy residences ever to be built in Manly claiming a select gateway harbourfront address directly opposite the beach at Manly Cove and Manly Wharf, its streamlined tri-level layout features stunning harbour views and a harmonious fusion of exquisite period detailing, select stone and timber finishes plus high-spec appointments and technology. Showcasing formal and informal living spaces, chic kitchen and bathrooms and a spectacular whole-floor main bedroom suite with a study and wondrous views, it opens to a covered harbourfront terrace and verandah plus a private central courtyard. Step straight out into Manly's cosmopolitan shopping and dining hub, wander across the road to a pristine harbour beach and ferries to the city or stroll four minutes down the street to the rolling waves at world-famous Manly Beach.
