Overview
Perfectly positioned just moments from Manly Harbour, this beautifully restored Queenslander offers a rare blend of character, privacy, and lifestyle in one of Brisbane's most coveted bayside locations. Boasting five generous bedrooms, three bathrooms, and multiple living zones, there is ample room for families of all ages and stages to spread out, connect, and enjoy.
Capturing cooling bay breezes and a prized north-facing aspect, the home unfolds across two light-filled levels. Leafy outlooks, generous proportions, and seamless indoor-outdoor living create an atmosphere of warmth, tranquility, and effortless family living. Elevated amongst the treetops, this timeless residence feels like a private retreat while remaining just a short stroll from the vibrant heart of Manly Harbour Village.
The lower level offers exceptional flexibility for growing families, multi-generational living, guests, or home-based businesses. Featuring a second full-sized kitchen, spacious living and dining areas, polished concrete floors, two additional bedrooms or offices, a bathroom, and a large covered terrace, this level embraces the increasingly sought-after dual-living lifestyle.
Upstairs, polished timber floors, soaring ceilings, and an abundance of natural light complement three generous bedrooms, including a master with ensuite. The lounge and dining area flow effortlessly into the modern kitchen, which is complete with stainless steel appliances, extensive storage, and abundant bench space. Timber stacker doors open onto an expansive entertaining deck, creating a spectacular extension of the living area and the perfect setting for long lunches, family celebrations, and relaxed evenings with friends.
Yet it is outside where this property truly reveals its magic. Hidden beyond the home lies a lush tropical sanctuary that feels worlds away from suburban life. Towering palms, established gardens, and winding pathways create a resort-like atmosphere, while the charming Balinese pavilion offers a peaceful retreat to unwind, entertain, or simply enjoy the sounds of nature.
