Breathtaking ocean views and the beautiful Middleton Beach within a few minutes' walk top a list of desirable features this outstanding property offers.
The appealing character cottage in Sussex Street offers numerous options for the new owners, who may decide to renovate and extend it, replace it with two town houses – both with views – or build one grand home.
There's also the possibility for out-of-towners to use it as a beach house. Then again, the owners could rent it out while they decide on their next move – or design their construction project.
From the rear, the outlook to Middleton Bay, Michaelmas Island and Gull Rock National Park is sensational just as it is, though it could really be exploited with a well-designed makeover or new build.
Over the years, the cottage has undergone modernisation, yet it has retained some original features such as timber sash windows and an open fireplace in the main bedroom.
At the front is a comfy lounge with air-conditioning and an adjoining second sitting area, which could double as a guest bedroom.
Next is a big, open country-style kitchen with space for a dining table and a share of the outlook.
A bathroom with a bath, walk-in shower, vanity and toilet, and a second double bedroom complete the picture indoors.
There's a garage on the 792sqm block, and the house is tucked away behind native vegetation and a U-shaped driveway for privacy.
On the view side is a sizeable deck, a favourite spot where you'd never tire of gazing at ships and whales in the bay and watching vibrant parrots feeding from the native trees in the yard while bandicoots forage in the undergrowth.
It's idyllic – and it could be yours to enjoy as you wish, with town a short drive away and eateries, walk tracks, parkland and recreation areas almost on the doorstep.
This is an opportunity to secure versatile real estate in a prestigious location, and significantly increase its value while making the most of the magnificent views.
