About this listing
What We Love
Welcome to your private front-row seat to Manly’s most iconic stretch of coastline where the sands of Manly’s Beach lie just metres from your doorstep and your very own exclusive rooftop terrace provides a private sanctuary where panoramic ocean views stretch endlessly to the horizon.
As you step inside this two-bedroom, two-bathroom beachfront penthouse apartment you will be greeted by ocean views that meet coastal luxury. Beautiful herringbone parquetry floors lead you through light-drenched interiors, where oversized windows frame cinematic views of rolling surf and endless blue skies.The open-plan marble kitchen and dining feature high-end appliances and every modern convenience allowing for effortless entertaining. The master bedroom retreat features a luxurious king-size haven with ensuite bathroom showcasing a magnificent stone bath perfect for post-beach soaks with wine and ocean soundtracks. Your second bedroom/study flexes with a comfortable double sofa bed doubling as a work from home retreat or an overflow accommodation for guests.
The piece de resistance however is the exclusive rooftop terrace; a rare and enviable outdoor escape perched above the Pacific. Whether you're grilling seafood on the built-in rotisserie BBQ, keeping weekend drinks chilled in the fridge, or simply reclining beneath the coastal sky as the sun dips over the water, this rooftop terrace transforms everyday moments into elevated experiences.
Manly's vibrant atmosphere with a mix of boutiques, eateries, and weekend markets creates endless exploration opportunities. Shelley Beach's protected marine sanctuary turns every snorkel session into underwater adventures through rainbow coral gardens, whilst South Steyne's golden expanse becomes your personal beach club just 80 metres away. Evening entertainment ranges from harbourside fish and chips sessions to craft cocktail dens where sunset happy hours stretch into starlit conversations. Sydney's glittering CBD awaits just 18 minutes via the iconic Manly Fast Ferry - turning mundane commutes into harbour cruises past Opera House photo ops and Bridge selfie moments, all while enjoying a G&T onboard. Multiple bus connections provide alternative city escapes, whilst northern beaches stretch endlessly for those days when one beach simply isn't enough adventure.

Cabbage Tree Bay's protected marine sanctuary transforms casual snorkelling into Finding Nemo adventures, where curious fish become your swimming companions and underwater coral gardens rival any tropical getaway destination.
'- The Office' harbourside haven at Victoria Parade's quieter end becomes your secret sunset headquarters, where fish and chips on waterfront grass feels more luxurious than five-star dining experiences. This local gem provides perfect escape from ocean beach madness whilst delivering spectacular harbour sunset photography opportunities that make your social media followers seriously jealous. Norma's Deli beneath Rialto stocks European delicacies and impressive wine collections for impromptu terrace parties, because life's too short for boring snacks. Harbour foreshore walking paths connect multiple pocket beaches and parklands, each offering distinct Sydney Harbour landmark views and endless exploration opportunities for restless beach souls. - Friday through Sunday aperitivo sessions at Pocket Pizza transform ordinary weekends into Italian coastal fantasy experiences, where harbour views complement authentic flavours and local characters share legendary stories. Chica Bonita brings fiesta energy to The Corso with vibrant Mexican cuisine that pairs perfectly with weekend celebration moods, whilst Garfish elevates seafood dining beyond ordinary with their famous Snapper Pie and Sugarfish bar's happy hour cocktails overlooking harbour sunset magic. Hemmingway's sophisticated French cuisine provides romantic evening escapes, remaining refreshingly open Monday evenings when other venues surrender to weekly routines - because passion doesn't follow calendar schedules.
- Saturday and Sunday mornings transform The Corso into treasure-hunting central where local artisans showcase unique creations, vintage dealers offer one-off discoveries, and fresh produce vendors tempt with regional specialties. Street performers provide soundtrack entertainment whilst popup food stalls deliver international cuisine adventures between browsing expeditions. Weekend energy spills into surrounding laneways where independent boutiques, authentic surf shops, and eclectic galleries create endless exploration opportunities - because beach life demands retail therapy sessions between ocean adventures and harbour sunset celebrations.
