Two luxury residences are being built in the coveted freehold section of Manly’s best address, each with their own private pool, with direct access to the oceanfront promenade and a prized north-east aspect.
Designed by Gartner Trovato and with interior styling by SJS Interiors, who completed Jennifer Hawkins’ Newport home, the two-storey duplex is due to be complete in 2024-5 offering far-reaching views, house-like proportions and high-end fixtures.
The boutique project is for two homes, each one with a heated plunge pool, lawn, garaging and parking for four cars.
Only one is for sale though: the one occupying the entire top floor with its grandstand views of Fairy Bower, plus half of the entry level where there is a rumpus, bedroom, and bathroom — an ideal guest retreat.

The four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence with four-car garage at 118A Bower St, which will have 180-degree ocean views, is for sale in an expressions of interest campaign via Jake Rowe of The Agency Northern Beaches with a price guide of $22m-$24m.
The 472sqm on title also encompasses a large terrace facing the view plus an undercover terrace with barbecue and level lawn.
There is also a shared walkway directly to the Manly to Shelly Beach promenade.
The site has been the home of the Rowe family since 1971 when John Rowe, acclaimed author and former Army officer working in military intelligence, acquired the double-brick house in a house swap.
Now his sons are developing the block with Jake keeping one half and his brother Luke selling his.
“It will be built to a high standard and have some of the best views on the northern beaches,” Jake said.
Features include a sophisticated kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, stone island bench and wine cellar at the rear of the pantry, soaring raked ceilings in the main living room and main bedroom and large luxury bathrooms with skylights.
The main bedroom has a vast dressing room and ensuite.
The residence also has timber floors, ducted air conditioning and generous storage in the garage for watercraft and sports equipment.
Most of the residential land in Bower St is leased from the Catholic Church so to find freehold property is special.
