Manly, QLD, 4179, Australia

In one of Manly's most sought-after cul-de-sac positions is a spectacular northeast facing residence with unparalleled harbour views and a private walkway with direct access to the waterfront. An idyllic family life awaits amidst the beauty of the boats, the bay, and the islands.

Designed and built by an award-winning team, the concrete and glass luxury residence brings in water views to every living space through vast glass walls that slide open to outdoor terraces. The boats in the harbour appear almost close enough to touch.

Be in the box seat for the Olympic sailing events. The Manly Boat Harbour is confirmed as the 2032 Olympic sailing venue.

Richard Long of RAL Architects maximised the land's elevation, perfect aspect and proximity to Manly Boat Harbour, which is the southern hemisphere's largest marina encompassing the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron, the Moreton Bay Yacht Club and the East Coast Marina.

In a feat of architectural and engineering brilliance, three suspended levels of expansive open plan indoor-outdoor living are linked by a grand limestone and glass staircase and a glass lift.

Inspired by the harbour, the home is imbued with evocative nautical curves.

The neutral palette and natural textures selected by interior designer Tim Harris allow the colours of the boats and the bay to mesmerise everyone who enters.

The selection of materials is exquisite. Throughout the residence are pre-sealed Italian limestone floor tiles, New Zealand wool carpets, customised G.James glass and French oak veneered joinery.

The Italian limestone floor tiles flow out to all outdoor terraces. All ensuites and bathrooms are limestone from floor to ceiling with Italian fittings.

The powder room showcases a wall of imported Bisazza mosaic tiles.

The highest of the three levels is a huge open space that flows easily between two lounge areas, the dining area, the kitchen and the outdoor terrace.

The kitchen's large island bench is curved to immerse the chef in the breathtaking views.

From every position on this level you survey all before you across the harbour and the bay to the islands on the horizon.

The centrepiece of the middle level is the music room that opens to a large terrace sheltered by two wings.

The first wing houses four bedrooms including the master bedroom, which takes prime waterfront position.

The master bedroom is instilled with water views and graced by imported Italian fabric on an upholstered wall, as well as a stunning ensuite and walk-in-robe.

Of the three other bedrooms in this wing, one has its own private balcony with water views, and one has its own ensuite. Two of these bedrooms are serviced by a large light-filled bathroom.

The other wing houses a glass office with harbour views.

On ground level, the games room has its own kitchenette and opens to the pool terrace.

A northeast facing bedroom, bathroom, and laundry are also on this level.

You can be immersed in the freshwater infinity pool amidst the blue glass mosaic tiles while taking in the views across the bay.

The ground level also accommodates four vehicles in the lock-up garage as well as having undercover space for three more vehicles and 35 metres of driveway for extra vehicles and boat trailers.

The garage has a storage room, ample storage cupboards, and a 32 Amp Electrical Vehicle Charger.

Outside, mature gardens are low maintenance. The residence is designed to easily lock-up and leave.

Excellent schools, sporting clubs, restaurants, cafes, bars, art galleries, trains, and all amenities abound.

The bayside community is friendly, active, and family-oriented. This enviable life is a short drive or train ride to the city's centre.

This property is exceptional for its large land size and private walkway to the waterfront. What makes this residence a one-off is the calibre of its design, engineering and build, its elevated cul-de-sac harbourside position and its uninterrupted harbour views. Do not delay your inspection.
