Overview
This distinctive ground-floor apartment in Manly offers the rare charm of a semi-detached, house-like setting within a historically rich Federation building known as ‘The Scarborough’. Positioned to the north on the ground level, it captures abundant natural light through expansive full brick interiors with soaring 3.2m high ceilings, combining period features such as picture rails with modern comforts.
The generous living spaces are thoughtfully arranged to balance relaxation and versatility, featuring a substantial living room anchored by a gas fireplace and complemented by a sunny sunroom that serves flexibly as dining or secondary living space. The farmhouse-style gas kitchen, equipped with an Italian Glem cooker and island bench, provides both style and practicality.
The apartment’s layout benefits from spacious bedrooms, including a master with built-in robes and reverse cycle air conditioning, alongside a cleverly concealed laundry area. Outside, a private alfresco terrace, level lawn, and deck create an inviting garden atmosphere perfect for outdoor living, enhanced by facilities such as a gas point for a barbecue.
Notably, the property includes an exceptionally large single lock-up garage on title which extends beyond conventional parking needs, providing ample room for storage, a workshop, or a cellar. This adds a valuable dimension for owners requiring extra space or workshop facilities.
Located in a secure and beautifully restored federation-style block with near-level access, the setting is extremely private yet highly connected. Proximity to Fairlight’s boutique shops, cafes, and parks, as well as easy strolling distance to Manly’s markets, beaches, ferry wharf, and reputable schools, consolidates this property’s appeal as a comfortable and aspirational lifestyle opportunity.
