89-91 Bower Street, Manly

Nestled on 879sqm of rolling lawns and exquisitely manicured park-like gardens with coastal vistas forming its backdrop, this superbly crafted residence exudes the relaxed ambience of a luxurious, private country-style estate. From dawn to dusk, sunlight bathes the open plan design through panoramic windows and soaring cathedral ceilings, filling oversized retreat-style living areas with light and warmth. The perfect northerly aspect invites breathtaking views and cooling sea breezes into the sprawling comfort of hand-crafted interior aesthetics. Enter via a generous double garage from the private rear street access to descend into the quiet bliss of the garden oasis complete with waterfall, pond and enveloping tropical foliage. Featuring cascading lawns, expansive greenery, spacious sandstone paving and built-in barbecue, this is the ultimate sanctuary for relaxing and entertaining. Occupying a premium position on Manly's most prestigious street, it's footsteps away from diving off the rocks at Fairy Bower or a five-minute stroll along the seaside promenade to Shelly Beach or Manly Village.
