Tucked behind hand-chipped sandstone walls and only a 10 minute walk to Manly Beach, Fairlight Maison is a home like no other. This heritage-listed, two-storey Victorian terrace, built in 1860, is one of the earliest surviving residences in Fairlight — and one of the most lovingly and meticulously restored.
Over 25 years, the home has been transformed into a bespoke retreat, where everything is custom-made. Every detail — from the joinery to the fixtures, the finishes to the furniture — has been thoughtfully chosen or hand-crafted to create a warm, soulful and truly one-of-a-kind living experience.
Step inside to a sense of calm and quiet elegance. The living room welcomes you first, with original timber floors and a gas fireplace perfect for cosy evenings. It leads to the heart of the home — the kitchen — spacious, timeless and a joy to entertain. From here, the space flows into a generous dining area, ideal for long lunches and intimate dinners, opening onto the sun-drenched courtyard.
Outside, you’ll find a private oasis — compact, but perfectly formed. The courtyard heated plunge pool is a true luxury — framed by greenery and sandstone, bathed in sun, and completely secluded for peaceful morning swims or sunset soaks all year round.
Upstairs, the home offers a study and two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The study leads to the master bedroom with French doors opening onto a north-facing balcony, where morning light streams in and birdsong begins the day. The attic bedroom, reached via a sculptural glass spiral staircase, feels like a hidden retreat under the eaves — romantic and light-filled.
The main bathroom is a standout feature — more like a luxury spa than your average bathroom, with custom timber floors designed for wet areas, a handcrafted double hand-basin, Broware Yokato brass tapware, vintage lighting, and a combination of switch glass and wooden louvres offering both privacy and atmosphere. It’s a space designed for daily ritual and quiet indulgence.
Located just a 10-minute stroll to Manly Beach, ferries, cafés and coastal walks, Fairlight Maison feels like a private villa tucked into the heart of the Northern Beaches.
The property is offered with the option of being sold fully furnished, just as it has operated for years as a successful, luxury Airbnb — ready to move in, rent out, or retreat to.
Having been lovingly owned and restored for 25 years, Fairlight Maison is more than just a home, it’s a piece of Sydney’s rich history. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this remarkable property is ideal as a cherished residence or a ready-made investment.
