Balgowlah, Sydney

This is a bright, sun-drenched top-floor apartment with a beautiful north-east aspect, so it feels light, breezy, and calm throughout the day, it has a really peaceful feel while still being incredibly central.

The open-plan living area is filled with natural light from windows on three sides and flows out to a sunny balcony — perfect for a morning coffee or soaking up some sunshine.

Both bedrooms are generous and light-filled, with built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors, ceiling fans, and plantation shutters. The bathroom has been newly renovated and includes both a bathtub and a separate shower. The kitchen is well-appointed with stone benchtops, gas cooking, a dishwasher, pantry, and a separate laundry with plenty of storage. There’s also air conditioning in the living area, and minimal shared walls, which adds to the quiet, private feel of the home.

Location-wise, it’s hard to beat — buses to Manly and the CBD are just moments away on Sydney Road, Stockland Balgowlah is only a couple of blocks away for groceries and essentials, and there are plenty of great cafes and restaurants close by. You’re also within walking distance of North Harbour Reserve, Forty Baskets, and the Fairlight walk, which takes you all the way into Manly along the harbour foreshore.
