The Snapshot
Days here can begin with a paddle and end with a chair pulled up to the water's edge. Between the cottage and Port Stephens, the waterfront reserve creates a leafy connection to the shore, where a sandy base and expansive bay views invite you to spend more time outside. Arrive on Friday, and let the weekend find its own pace.
The Home
With Yaccaba and Tomaree on the horizon, the renovation inspiration at 4 Wood Street starts well before you step inside. Facing east across a waterfront reserve, this original Pindimar cottage brings together sweeping 180-degree water views, a leafy coastal setting and the chance to create a retreat with your own stamp on it.
Established foreshore trees frame the outlook across Port Stephens, while the reserve connects the property to the water's edge. With a sandy base along the waterfront, the setting invites mornings spent kayaking and afternoons lingering by the shore. Here, a weekend away could be as simple as packing a bag and clearing the calendar.
Elevated above the garden, the cottage makes the most of its position with a covered timber balcony overlooking the reserve and bay. Stairs lead down to the lawn, keeping outdoor living closely connected to the foreshore.
Inside, timber floorboards, exposed ceiling beams and high ceilings establish the home's original character. The main living and dining spaces connect with the balcony, with large windows drawing in natural light and framing the waterfront outlook. A galley-style kitchen sits alongside, equipped with timber cabinetry, laminate benchtops, open shelving and overhead storage. Together, these spaces offer a starting point for an update that takes its cues from the surrounding landscape.
Three bedrooms feature timber flooring, while the bathroom includes a bathtub and separate shower recess, alongside a separate powder room.
Beneath the elevated residence, a covered area provides sheltered space for casual lunches and storing paddling gear. Level lawn areas and established gardens continue the relaxed atmosphere, with an outdoor sitting and firepit area adding another place to unwind.
Practical features include an existing freestanding shed with garage and storage space, laundry facilities, solar panels and a large concrete rainwater tank supplying the property. There is also DA approval for an additional shed.
For weekend escape seekers, DIY enthusiasts and renovators, the appeal lies in the combination of an exceptional outlook and a home ready for fresh thinking.
