56 Laman Street, Cooks Hill NSW 2300

Auction Location: On Site.

This classic Cooks Hill worker's cottage pairs timeless charm with a thoughtful, design-led renovation. Original double brick and exposed textures bring warmth and history, while polished concrete floors (which can be reconnected to hydronic under-floor heating), steel beams, a floating timber staircase, and minimalist lines give the home a cool, contemporary edge.

Bathed in natural light thanks to skylights and north-facing bi-folds, the home feels airy and inviting year-round. A smart layout maximises space with open plan living, a sleek contemporary kitchen, and space-saving bathroom/laundry combo. Recent upgrades like new air con in second bedroom, new ceiling fans, gas hot water, and plantation shutters add comfort and style. Outside, a private north-facing deck and lush courtyard garden feel like a hidden sanctuary making it the perfect spot for long lunches, quiet morning rituals, or space to park the car.

Just 350m from Darby Street, there's no shortage of pavement cafes, corner pubs and restaurants on the doorstep, and when the weekend comes around, the beach, monthly markets, sporting fields and the harbour and city are all yours to enjoy.
