45 Ben Boyd Road, Neutral Bay NSW 2089

The modest facade of this Victorian semi gives the home a classic cottage feel but it's the unusually deep sunny garden and level 305sqm approx block that will really capture your imagination. With DA approved plans already in place for a sympathetic redesign, the c1900 worker's cottage is set at the quiet eastern end of Ben Boyd Road, 500m to Neutral Bay Wharf.

Comfortable as is with a warm and welcoming feel, the newly refreshed home's period charm and idyllic child-friendly garden make a perfect upgrade from an apartment in a top spot between the buzz of Neutral Bay village and the harbour foreshore. Live in as is while contemplating the approved plans or get stuck into the renovation and create a contemporary three-bedroom home designed to embrace the outdoors with a lofty living pavilion featuring 3.8m ceilings and a three-bedroom accommodation wing.

Corbelled arch entry hall and original Kauri floorboards

Main bed with a gorgeous original leadlight feature window
