13 Herbert Street, Manly

Experience the ambient charm of yesteryear and the modern comforts of today in this beautifully reimagined early 1900s semi hushed away atop the exclusive Western Hill within a stone's throw of Manly Beach. An enchanting beach house with a wonderfully functional and versatile layout, it features a sun-drenched living space with northerly views, a dining room adjoining a sleek as-new island kitchen plus a rumpus retreat area downstairs with a bathroom and bedroom that throws up plenty of living options.
