Numbers 30 and 32 Mary Street, Shellharbour will be auctioned on November 25, after being in the same family for more than a century.
The property at 30 Mary Street is a heritage-listed home built in circa 1860, and believed to be one of the earliest surviving buildings in Shellharbour.
It's set on an approximately 800sqm block.
"If your intention is to develop the site it's likely you would need to design your plans around this existing home," selling agent, Ben Cohen from Ray White Shellharbour City said.
According to Shellharbour City Council's heritage inventory, No.30 is a "rare example of the modest style of homes built in Shellhabour Village during the early 20th Century and add greatly to the area's quaint seaside charm".
"(It's) of local significance as one of the earliest surviving buildings in Shellharbour and as a good example of mid Victorian Georgian revival architecture... Typifies the small Shellharbour cottage that once proliferated the village," the inventory stated.
Meanwhile, 32 Mary Street is a home set on approximately 1000sqm.
The brick home at No. 32 was built in 1958.
The titles are being sold in one line (as one) as part of an estate sale, having been owned by the parents of the vendors.
One of the executors, Brian Condon estimated the property had been in the family since the early 1900s, having been passed along to various family members, including his late father Francis.
"My great-uncle Daniel bought it at an auction - he bought 30, 32 and 34," he said.
"They weren't numbered in those days.
"No.34 was sold a long time ago."
Mr Condon said the property was in a great position.
Mr Cohen told the Mercury there wasn't a price guide for the listing, due to the unique nature of the site.
"It's a very short flat walk to the trendy cafes, restaurants and boutique shops of the main street, pristine beaches, boat harbour and ocean pool," he said.
"It's such a beautiful location that whatever the market conditions (it) always remains in great demand."
