3 Murramarang Crescent, South Durras NSW 2536

Expected Bidding: $500,000 to $530,000

This captivating two-storey timber cottage set in a bushland oasis, is quintessential South Durras. Built for our client in 1986 by well-known local builder Bob Mates, it has provided an idyllic home and holiday destination for visiting family over the years.

Four types of timber have been used in the construction. Western red cedar on the external walls, pine wall cladding on the internal walls, pine flooring, exposed Oregon beams, and Tasmanian myrtle for the bench kitchen benchtops, which were refurbished in 2002. The sum total is an informal, relaxed environment for all seasons.

Downstairs the layout consists of a spacious, timber flooring, open plan living area, with adjoining library or study. Features of the living room are the French doors opening onto the verandah to make most of the cool summer breezes and the wood combustion heater delivering warm, cosy nights in winter.

The galley kitchen separated from the dining area by an island bench, has two Miele ovens and an integrated Miele dishwasher. Completing the level is a laundry, shower and toilet conveniently accessed from the back door, along with an outdoor shower, perfect for those returning from the beach or coming in from a day in the garden.

The upper level, accessed by a return staircase, has raked, cathedral ceilings and houses three generous bedrooms and a bathroom with bath. The bedrooms make the most of the tree-scape through large widows, which also provide plenty of ventilation.
Just off the verandah is a paved BBQ area - perfect for entertaining on balmy nights.
A free-standing studio located to the rear of the block is an ideal space for the pursuit of artistic hobbies surrounded as it is by the beauty of the natural garden. It has its own tank for water.

A 25,000 litre tank, supplies water to the house and a 12,000 litre tank supplies the garden. The HWS uses a cost-effective inverter system, and the septic has an absorption trench.
This is your chance to purchase and enjoy a home or holiday house in one of the most sought after and attractive settings on the South Coast.
