8 Iluka Avenue, Manly

Hidden in a prized peaceful coastal pocket only a four minute level stroll from Queenscliff Beach, this exquisite bungalow is possibly too adorable to extend, but it does offer optional future scope to further capitalise (STCA). Graced with exquisite period detailing and stylish contemporary refurbishments, it features a stately living room with a gas fireplace, a separate garden studio retreat and a dining room by the kitchen opening to an extensive covered entertainers' terrace. Placed on 373sqm of private near level easycare lawn and landscaped gardens with a sunny north rear aspect, it is only a few minutes stroll from express city buses, trendy delis/eateries, Harris Farm and the surf, and a level wander to all the action at Manly's village hub and the direct city ferry service.
