Bed 3 / Bath 2 / Car 1

The way old world meets contemporary style is to be celebrated.

A refurbishment by a well-known local craftsman, a true work of art.

A true classic weatherboard cottage with all the beautiful features from the 1920s and 30s finalised with a modern flair.

From the moment you arrive - although the character frontage is well hidden behind the lush gardens - you get a sense that it's the start of something special.

Swing open the door and take in the light fittings, ornate ceilings, picture rails and wide timber boards.

Arriving at the living space it's simply stunning, Tarcutta marble benches, beautiful white joinery, all framed by an oversized picture window overlooking the gardens.

Bi-fold stack doors open the rest of the dining to a covered entertaining deck.

While classic in style the finishes are accentuated by some key contemporary inclusions.

The spacious and modern kitchen will be enjoyed by any keen cook or aspiring chef.

A new garden studio downstairs is the perfect addition for family, friends or that extra little bit of income.

The generous block is about 734 square metres in total.

Everything truly comes together in this home in a way not seen too many times before.

All set in the popular suburb of Thirroul, close to shops, schools, pristine beaches and more.
