A generous block in Cooks Hill for someone who sees potential first and polish second.
Two-bedroom semis in Cooks Hill rarely come with land like this. At approximately 350sqm, 87 Dawson Street sits on a block noticeably larger than the two-bedroom homes that have recently changed hands nearby, and it comes with something else this pocket rarely offers, a single garage of its own. This is a home for someone ready to write its next chapter, not just move into someone else's.
What You'll Love:
The Land: At approximately 350sqm, this block is a genuine point of difference for a two-bedroom semi in Cooks Hill. More land means more options, now or down the track.
The Garage: Rare for the inner city, a garage sits at the rear of the block with dual access via the rear laneway. Off-street parking here is worth more than most renovations.
The Garden Retreat: Out back, a covered courtyard shaded by frangipani trees and fringed with established garden beds feels like its own world, private and green, tucked away from the busy Cooks Hill streets just beyond the fence.
The Character: Original ornate ceilings and cornices, timber floors and two original fireplaces hint at what this home once was, and what it could be again.
The Canvas: Kitchen, bathroom and a few walls are calling for attention. This is a home priced and positioned for someone ready to put in the work and make it their own.
