5/1-2 Tower Street, Manly

Undeniably one of Manly's most unique and magnificent garden apartments, this exclusive residence showcases a private sun-drenched courtyard and level lawn area framed by exquisitely landscaped tropical gardens. Set within the master-built 'Villa Porto' boutique security building with lift access, its staggering 435sqm title includes a sweeping living space opening to a private terrace with outlooks over adjacent leafy parkland and a large dining area flowing to the rear courtyard and gardens. Nestled in a cul-de-sac opposite Dalley Castle Park, its peaceful leafy setting is only 250m from the beach on Manly Cove, a four minute stroll to city ferries and Manly's cosmopolitan fine-dining restaurants and a six minute wander down to the sand and surf at internationally famous Manly Beach.
