On the market for the first time in 25 years, this cosy and comfortable home is just 700m from Manly Beach. It enjoys panoramic sea views from its elevated position and is a solid, all original 1980s build. A perfect north-facing aspect captures plenty of light and sun all day and, as the property is tucked at the end of a driveway, it is extremely peaceful, private and quiet.

Rich timber detailing and sarked ceilings inside create an inviting warmth, while plenty of glass brings the outside in. The open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen space is located on the ground floor entry level, where the views are on full display. Extending right out to Kawau and Little Barrier in the distance, there is always something to see and enjoy, no matter the weather or time of day. The deck is a lovely spot to sit and watch the kite surfers and sail boats on the water, as well as watching the world go by below.

There is one bedroom, a bathroom and separate laundry located on the ground floor, with two more bedrooms and another bathroom located upstairs. All rooms are of a generous size and those on the upper level boast great views. The property has a single garage, as well as a handy carport right outside the front door. Tiered gardens envelop the base of the section and the vege patch is all ready to be planted.

This neighbourhood is popular with families, thanks to its proximity to beautiful Manly beach and Arkles Bay. Edith Hopper Park is a community hub and, as well as its playground and sports fields, is home to Whangaparaoa Tennis Club, HBC Netball Centre and the Hibiscus Coast Bridge Club. Whangaparaoa School and College are both also within easy walking distance.

Small families and first-home buyers will love the sun, sea views and proportions on offer here, as well as the proximity to the beach, Edith Hopper Park and excellent local schools.

Be quick, this lovely sunny elevated home by the sea is sure to be snapped up!
