Freshly updated and full of charm, this classic weatherboard cottage is ready to welcome you with no updates or to-do lists required—just unpack and make yourself at home. With two stylish new bathrooms, a sleek new modern kitchen and laundry, crisp interiors, and freshly polished timber floors, all the hard work's been done. And let's be honest, when you're this close to Darby Street and the city, you'll want your weekends free for brunch, beach days, and spontaneous nights out.
The home features three comfortable bedrooms and a light-filled open plan living area that spills effortlessly onto a rear deck and newly landscaped backyard offering the perfect spot for lazy afternoons, outdoor dinners, and entertaining friends. The backyard feels like your own private sanctuary, framed by a 18m high lush green covered sandstone rock wall ensuring near complete seclusion from your neighbours, and complete with a water-wise herb garden, gabion basket stone benches, and even a hot and cold outdoor shower to rinse off when the surf's up.
Freshly renovated kitchen, laundry, and two stunning new bathrooms! Plus, enjoy ultimate privacy in the backyard – thanks to the towering quarry wall, you'll never have to worry about prying eyes.
In Cooks Hill, parking can be tight, but not here. There's a carport and a second parking bay out front, plus a shared driveway leading to a 6m x 4m garage. Whether you've got a motorbike, trailer, or a growing collection of surfboards and e-bikes, there's room for all your gear.
