10/1-2 Tower Street, Manly, NSW 2095

Superbly designed and masterfully crafted, this extraordinary 362sqm penthouse comes to market for the first time since its construction 30 years ago. A top-tier, low-maintenance harbourside sanctuary for the most discerning buyer, this magnificent house-sized trophy apartment combines contemporary design, luxurious appointments and a touch of elegance.

Showcasing mesmerising views sweeping the length of the harbour to the Eastern Suburbs, its expansive 362sqm title unfolds across a sweeping open-plan living and dining space, a relaxed secondary living and dining area and a custom fitted home office that doubles as a media room or fourth bedroom. Generous terraces flow seamlessly from the interiors, drawing in the panorama and the warmth of the northern sun.

‘Villa Porto’ is a prestigious and highly sought-after boutique building of only 11 residences, mainly owner occupied. It’s peacefully situated in an exclusive harbourside cul-de-sac opposite Dalley Castle Park, just 250m from the silken sands and lapping waters of Manly Cove. A spectacular 20-minute ferry commute to Sydney’s CBD & Manly's cosmopolitan fine-dining restaurants are a four-minute stroll away, while the sand and surf of internationally famous Manly Beach are only six minutes on foot.
