‘Mensola’ is a contemporary masterpiece by Nettleton Architects that embraces its exceptional north-east facing, elevated vantage atop a sandstone escarpment and responds imaginatively with striking floating breezeways and sculptural glass-wrapped forms cantilevered towards the ocean. Meticulously crafted to the highest standards, it is an exemplar of modern luxury, all clean lines and understated finishes that allow form, function and spectacular views to shine. Layers of glass, marble, concrete, terrazzo and steel give way to rare panoramic vistas that capture Middle Harbour, The Spit, city skyline, heads and eastward to the ocean horizon. From the dining pavilion that appears to float above the harbour to the rod-like infinity pool suspended underneath, there is plenty to wow here, balanced with an impressive sense of privacy. The lavishly scaled master wing with its annexed study is well-separated from the other bedrooms, all accessible via internal lift. An exceptional offering on a dual-fronted block in an exclusive address, close to harbourside walking trails and foreshore parklands and in easy reach of the Spit to Manly Walk, Sydney Road shops, Manly beaches and transport links.
