Over the last 40+ years locals have walked past this original gem on their morning stroll and thought "if ever that house comes on to the market I will buy it!" We've all been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this.
Firstly, an unbeatable location, literally across the road from one of the rarest stretches of crystal clear aqua water you will ever see, at the entrance to picturesque Lake Macquarie - a water lovers dream. Walk into Swansea CBD and enjoy all the amenities you'll need in around 15min, or jump in the car and drive around 3km to pristine Blacksmiths Beach and 9 Mile Beach ... you can even take the 4WD on the sand! The lifestyle this home offers is just amazing! Close to schools, transport, great fishing, great surfing, swimming, scuba diving, jetski....sorry, got carried away...
Set on a near level block of 1069m2 with a 20m frontage and dual access! This home keeps all your options open.
For period renovators or someone with the skills, this is a dream come true! The original hardwood, two bedroom cottage is over 114 years old according to the family that are selling and has all the old world features including 11 foot timber lined ceilings, the original timber lined walls are still present (think of the stately "Queenslander" look), there's a double sided fireplace, the front and rear coloured transoms above the doors are still intact, and the floor boards are the big wide boards not found today - there is plenty to love about this home. Either way though, the house is absolutely solid and would be an ideal weekender until you're ready to bring your forever home to life.
This is likely the only original cottage left along the blue ribbon stretch, they've all made way for modern homes over the years and some are now asking over $4million, you can create your own for a lot less.
The block is Zoned R2 Low Density Residential - there is the potential to build the dream home or an attached dual occupancy Subject to Council approval.
The rear lane could see the astute purchaser build a large garage and possibly Granny Flat above to take advantage of the views - subject to Council approval.
The original home has views over the Channel from the living area, main bedroom and kitchen and the single garage!
Located in the water lovers paradise that is Swansea, you can walk across the road to catch your next meal or wander along the pathway into Swansea CBD for a bite to eat.
The 6 metre x 3 metre garage accessed from Channel Street was built in 2005 - perfect to house the boat or jet ski.
Dont let this slip away - pool all the family money and buy yourselves a sensational parcel of land in a dream location.
