A stunning whole-floor apartment located at 2/3 Oyama Avenue in Manly, Sydney, is set to go to auction with a price guide of $10.9 million. This newly renovated residence boasts unparalleled water views and is situated in one of the most sought-after beachside suburbs in the city. According to local real estate agent Anthony Calacoci of Belle Property, properties like this are exceptionally rare.
The apartment, which occupies the entire floor, features a private lift that opens directly into the residence. Calacoci describes it as a sanctuary designed with an emphasis on high-end finishes and modern technology. “Every single detail has been considered to create an unparalleled sanctuary,” he said.
Prime Location with Spectacular Views
Nestled in a tranquil cul-de-sac on Eastern Hill, the apartment is just a short walk from Manly’s pristine beaches and vibrant dining scene. It is also conveniently located near the ferry terminal, providing easy access to Sydney’s central business district.
“You have luxury yachts and the Manly Ferry passing by, people enjoying water sports, and the night lights of Manly Wharf,” Calacoci noted. The property is known for its breathtaking sunsets and proximity to the water, making it a prime choice for those who enjoy an active lifestyle.
The light-filled living and dining areas flow seamlessly to an expansive entertainer’s terrace, which offers panoramic views that stretch from Manly Cove to North Harbour. Furthermore, the apartment features state-of-the-art amenities, including electric blinds, heated bathroom floors, and a gourmet kitchen adorned with a four-meter Tundra marble slab.
Designed for Luxury Living
The apartment has undergone a meticulous transformation, led by acclaimed Sydney designer Julianne Henry. Her work has been featured in the US edition of House & Garden Magazine. Calacoci praised her design, stating, “Some of the features are something the Manly market has never seen.”
The interiors feature a harmonious blend of natural materials, such as oak flooring and raw limestone, along with luxurious appointments like a Ralph Lauren pendant light and a Victoria and Albert freestanding bathtub.
With only three residences in the building, this apartment offers a unique level of privacy. The master suite includes a walk-in robe and an ensuite that opens to a private courtyard, while a flexible media room can serve as an additional bedroom or study.
Calacoci emphasized the apartment’s high-quality finishes, including ducted air-conditioning and surround sound systems. “The level of finish is simply breathtaking,” he stated.
The property is generating significant interest, having recorded over 20,000 online hits, hundreds of inquiries, and 155 viewings prior to the auction. While the suburb’s record for an apartment sale sits at $18 million, Calacoci believes this property stands out due to its unique features.
“Oyama Avenue has something that the beachfront units don’t: a full wraparound balcony with a view of the best harbour in the world—a view so close you can almost touch it. Now, that’s something truly special!” he added.
As of August 2023, the median price for an apartment in Manly was $1.7 million, highlighting the exceptional nature of this offering. The upcoming auction is expected to attract considerable attention from discerning buyers seeking a luxurious lifestyle in a prime location.
