Addison Retreat - Family Home in Manly

Coastal Charm Meets Timeless Elegance.

Nestled in one of Manly’s desirable Eastern Hill, this property is a rare offering that captures the essence of relaxed, refined living.  This freestanding sandstone residence sits on a sun-drenched 316sqm block just moments from Little Manly Beach, coastal walks, local cafés and the ferry to Circular Quay. Wake to the sound of birdsong and lapping waves, soak in the morning sun from the rear deck, and return each day to a peaceful garden sanctuary.

Originally built in 1905 as a guesthouse, this grand four-bedroom, three-bathroom home has been beautifully restored to balance historic elegance with modern comfort. Leadlight windows, four working fireplaces and ornate ceilings celebrate its heritage, while contemporary updates include high-end kitchen appliances, luxe bathroom finishes, ducted air conditioning, and solar with Tesla battery storage. Multiple living zones, outdoor entertaining areas, a private gym studio, and rare off-street parking complete the offering — all set within manicured gardens and moments from the sea.
