59 The Circle, Manly, Auckland

This stunning single level property with a freestanding, two bedroom minor dwelling is the ultimate home and income solution by the sea. For families looking for extra accommodation as well as those looking for relaxed retirement living with a steady rental income flow this is a brilliant opportunity to enjoy the enviable lifestyle that comes with living 'on the flat', in The Circle at Big Manly.

Built just five years ago, the relaxed, one level main dwelling has a wonderfully edgy vibe that is enhanced by polished concrete floors, rich ply timber ceilings, solid black double-glazed joinery and a crisp white interior. The 'semi-industrial' look is offset with vibrant teal tiling in the kitchen and a funky concrete block island bench. This instantly appealing home is flooded in natural light and is warm all year round thanks to a fireplace and passive ducted heating system. You'll love the way the main living space steps out to decking, level lawn and a beautifully landscaped garden. Private and sun-soaked, it is a wonderful haven. Bonuses include a separate high spec'd laundry and small office.

The two bedroom minor dwelling is spacious and light and opens up to its own covered deck area and private and spacious courtyard. With its own pedestrian entrance and carpark, it feels quite separate from the main dwelling.

The local primary school is literally metres away in one direction and the delights of the Manly Park and Manly Beach are just a short stroll in the other. Local cafes, restaurants and shops in Manly Village are also within walking distance. Fully secure with automated gate and intercom, this is a property you really need to inspect to truly appreciate.
