Positioned in the heart of one of the Illawarra's most desirable and tightly held coastal villages, this original Austinmer cottage presents an increasingly rare opportunity to secure an entry level property in an outstanding lifestyle location.
Offered to the market in original condition, this is a true renovator's delight with enormous potential. Whether you choose to undertake a complete renovation, knock down and build your dream coastal home, or explore the potential for a duplex or dual occupancy development (STCA), the possibilities are compelling.
The existing residence comprises two bedrooms and sunroom on the upper level, together with a separate two-bedroom flat on the lower level, providing flexibility while plans for the property's future are considered.
There's no disguising the fact that the home requires extensive renovation throughout - but in a location like this, the land and position are the real prize.
Enjoy an easy five-minute walk to Austinmer Beach, village cafes, local school and train station, placing everything this sought-after coastal community has to offer virtually on your doorstep.
Renowned for its beautiful beaches, two iconic ocean pools and relaxed village atmosphere, Austinmer remains one of the region's most highly prized locations, particularly for families seeking a coastal lifestyle with convenient access to Sydney.
For buyers looking to enter the Austinmer market, renovators searching for their next project, or developers seeking a well-positioned site with future potential, this golden oldie represents land value in an exceptional location.
