26 Aitken Avenue, Queenscliff

Set directly opposite lagoon-front reserve in an exclusive beachside cul-de-sac, this versatile family residence is simply brimming with potential and possibilities. Poised above the street with dreamy leaf-filtered views over Manly Lagoon to an expansive district backdrop, the comfortably modern full brick residence features generous living spaces and terraces with views on both levels plus a near self-contained whole floor retreat. Ripe for renovation or a premium site for a rebuild (STCA), it is secluded in one of the area's most sought-after pockets within footsteps of the grassy reserve lining Manly Lagoon and a short stroll to express city buses, parks, tennis courts and Queenscliff Beach.
