[SOLD] ... when the front door opens, the WOW should reveal itself ... clearly whoever designed this fantastic family home thinks the same way. As you enter, you get a glimpse of the well thought out and heavily used outdoor area ... then you realise the true expanse of this 'one of a kind' home with everything from the mailbox to the back fence carefully planned. Polished concrete floors stretch the length of the home, perfect for pets or the odd wet footprint but more importantly bathing in the northerly sunshine and passively heating your gorgeous home. Sitting at the 'heart of the home' is the kitchen with its huge island but also linking easily to the outdoor areas - one eye on the children in the pool while still being part of anything going on in the outdoor sitting area. Are you having a big gathering with plenty of adults and children ... perfect, close the double barn doors and each group can have their own space. For those that work from home, there is a generous and strategically placed office. Then when it comes to bedtime, the master suite is separate from the other three large bedrooms and their stunning bathroom. Location, they say, is the #1 rule of real estate. Manly on the flat ... a place where your neighbours know your name and where you can walk to shops, the beach, schools, sporting facilities and have public transport on hand ... is one of those coveted places to live.

Viewing is really easy, it is be appointment so we can arrange a time that works for you ... see you soon.
