Addison Rd is Manly’s premier freehold address and long been the address of the great and good of Manly society.
The late Sir Arthur Roden Cutler, former NSW governor and Victoria Cross recipient lived at number 11 Addison Rd, the Pacific Island merchant and airline industry leader the late Sir Walter Carpenter lived at number 19 and one of the nation’s most generous philanthropist couples Greg and Kay Poche still live in the road. This is a road where owners hang onto property for decades, if not generations.
