Steeped in warmth and character, this enchanting 1930s weatherboard cottage captures the essence of Berry living, timeless, charming, and effortlessly stylish. Set on a large, level block surrounded by established gardens, this is a home that feels instantly comforting, with a natural sense of privacy and calm from the moment you arrive.
The façade reflects its vintage roots, while the interiors reveal a beautiful blend of heritage charm and modern elegance. High ceilings, rich timber floors, and soft natural light create a sense of openness, balanced by moody, intimate corners that make the home feel grounded and lived-in.
Thoughtfully renovated and extended over time, the home now offers a layout that is both practical and inviting. Living areas sit at one end of the home, with bedrooms at the other, ensuring space and flow. The open-plan kitchen and dining zone are the heart of the home, featuring a Manhattan-inspired kitchen that brings both function and style, while the slow combustion fireplace adds warmth and atmosphere throughout the seasons. French doors open to a private covered entertaining area, a beautiful extension of the home that overlooks the pool and gardens beyond.
Every detail here speaks to balance and authenticity. The main bathroom features a classic clawfoot bath, adding a touch of vintage charm, while the second bathroom integrates the laundry with direct access to the western side of the home for convenience. The wraparound veranda, crushed sandstone paths, and herringbone brick walkways enhance the property's old-world appeal, leading through manicured hedges and landscaped gardens that change with the light.
At the rear, a secluded firepit area sits amongst mature liquidambar, paperbark, and palm trees, offering a tranquil retreat for cool evenings under the stars.
Adding to its appeal, a detached studio with ensuite provides flexibility for guests, professionals, or short-term accommodation. With a private entry, it is ideal as a home office, creative studio, or an additional income opportunity through Airbnb.
Modern conveniences are seamlessly woven through the home, including ducted air conditioning, solar power (31 panels, 11.47 kW system with micro inverters), and full fencing for pets and privacy.
Perfectly positioned within walking distance of Queen Street, the train station, and Berry's beloved cafés and boutiques, this single-level bungalow embodies everything people love about the South Coast. Only a short 10-minute drive to the stunning shores of Seven Mile Beach, and less than 2 hours to Sydney CBD, it combines the best of village living with effortless access to the coast and the city.
It is rare to find a property that feels so immediately like home. Step inside 45 Prince Alfred Street and you will understand why. This is a place that wraps you in warmth, style, and belonging from the very first moment.
