2/1 James Street, Manly

Retaining the very essence of its Federation pedigree throughout a meticulous designer transformation, this sumptuous character apartment is a rare find. Placed on the north east corner with sunshine streaming through the windows, it showcases exceptionally bright and spacious interiors that open to an elegant north facing Juliet balcony and a tranquil garden courtyard shared with only one neighbour. Hidden away in a whisper-quiet street within a boutique building of four, it is less than 200m to the beach at Manly Cove and a five minute stroll to Manly Wharf and a festival of cafes, bars, brasseries and restaurants.
