The Cutest Seaside Cottage You'll Ever See!

If you've been dreaming of true coastal living, this irresistible move-in ready cottage with breathtaking sea views is guaranteed to capture you the moment you arrive. Perfect for first home buyers or downsizers seeking character, soul and an unbeatable waterfront setting, this is the kind of home that makes every day feel like a holiday.

Split across two levels and positioned on a generous 761sqm section, the layout offers a large master bedroom with ensuite, a second double bedroom, a family bathroom with separate toilet downstairs, spacious sun-filled living with beautiful rustic timber flooring throughout, a charming 2 tiered outdoor courtyard, and a separate garage on road reserve.

Sheltered from prevailing winds and perfectly positioned for glorious morning sun, the standout feature is the gorgeous private sunroom on the upper level: your own front-row seat to sweeping harbour views. Watch swimmers in the bay, boats drifting across the water, and even the occasional orca passing through this spectacular coastal backdrop.

Built in 1919 and rich in character, the home has been lovingly cared for and thoughtfully maintained to preserve its authentic beach vibe and timeless charm. Beautifully presented and ready to move straight in, there is still plenty of scope to add your own touch and further enhance over time.

With a captivating outlook that instantly transports you from the rush of daily life, yet still within easy reach of the city, this magical property offers the very best of relaxed seaside living.

More features of this delightful cottage include:

• Solid and well-maintained weatherboard exterior.
