Shiny new Manly home is property of the week

Jeremy says: "When I bought it, it was an old rundown house with three bedrooms. And I knew we could build a great home there either for me to live in or as an investment."

Now, three years later, that vision has come to life thanks to help from DKO Architecture.

With Jeremy making the decision to put the five-bedroom, three-bathroom property on the market, the new owner is set to move into a home with five bedrooms that's shiny, new and never been occupied.

"No one has ever lived in it," he says. "Everything - all the appliances from the fridge and solar panels to the TVs and barbecues - are all brand new."

It's a family home that's been designed for entertaining, including a luxury kitchen and butler's pantry.

"We designed it so that you can use all the different areas. You can have kids upstairs or out the front and the adults can be downstairs entertaining. And there are lots of areas if you want to escape from the rest of the family."

The home also features an alfresco dining area - decked out with a barbecue, wine fridge and wet bar - home theatre, separate study, home automation and integrated Sonos system so that you can play tunes in most areas at the touch of a button.

The two-storey Hamptons-inspired home is opposite Manly Golf course, an easy walk to Manly Aquatic Centre and Harris Farm and a short stroll to the beach.

"It's going to suit a young family with kids or teenagers who need their space. The guest bedroom and ensuite is also ideal for grandparents who may visit."

Price guide: $5-$5.5 million
