What's around 8 Elizabeth Street

A Grand Old Lady

First time offered to market after being held tightly in the family for nearly eighty years. Built by the Brissett family who were some of the early entrepreneurs of Sawtell, owning various shops as well as creating the Sawtell Cinema, which Mrs Brissett Snr, also know as Mrs Ever-Ready, would patrol the cinema and surrounds with her trusty torch. The cinema, was continually operated by the family until 2015 when they sold to a local consortium who kept it flourishing for future generations. The home is a piece of Sawtell history but presents so much more, being located on 954sqm of Medium Density Zoned land with road and rear lane access. The home itself exudes a craftsmanship of yesteryear. Constructed of double brick throughout the home is as solid now as it was nearly 80 years ago. The bedrooms, of which there are three, are indeed the size of living areas in todays floorplans. The kitchen has been replaced about twenty five years ago and is the most modern part of the home. It has a double sink, Westinghouse oven and rangehood and plenty of cupboard space. There is even an informal dining room attached to the kitchen. The bathroom is in original condition and features a walk in shower, bathtub and vanity, as well as a length of the room cupboard and bench. The formal dining room is a room fit for the most elegant of dinner parties, with a fireplace in place, constructed of stone imported from Italy in the late 1940s. The formal lounge room however is the centrepiece of the home and indeed has that ballroom feel. One cannot help but focus on the large stone mantelpiece, which is the rear of the dining rooms fireplace, which is a striking feature of the room. The property also has a fully enclosed veranda running along two sides of the home with plenty of windows allowing lots of natural light. It also greatly increases the size of an already generously proportioned home. The laundry, once again in original condition is amongst the largest laundries we have ever seen and includes an internal toilet, whilst there is an additional toilet off the rear of the home. Outside there is a double carport as well as an original garage. The large lot means there is still a huge backyard even with such a generously proportioned home. The rear fence of the home has direct access to a lane separating it from the main street of Sawtell and the rear of the cinema. Your chance to renovate and live in a piece of history, and/or develop in the future.

Pleasure to work with

Chris & Kim are exceptional agents. From start to finish, they were both friendly and highly professional. As newcomers to Sawtell, we truly appreciated how warmly they welcomed us — we were made to feel like locals from day one. They went the extra mile during settlement to ensure everything came together smoothly for both us and the vendor. Their communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Chris & Kim provided outstanding service, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable local agent.

Agent that makes the selling process easy, listens to the clients input and delivers to expectations

The agent listened to our story about the historical family ties of our grandparents to the Sawtell community who owned the Cinema and multiple shops in the Main Street. The agent understood the importance of this sale to the family and the house was marketed perfectly with a wonderful historical story in the local papers of the family and the house. From our first discussions over the phone and then meeting with the agent in person a great repoire was built between the family members and the agent and his wonderful team members. The agent listened to our thoughts on both selling vs auctioning the house and his advice was to auction it, this proved to be the best strategy and resulted in a sale. We were provided with weekly up-to date reports on the open houses, online key data showing statistics on the level of interest on the house. On a personal level the interaction between the agent and 4 of our family members including myself was amazing, he got to know a lot of historical facts from talking to us and was able to articulate this in the local papers full page spread. This really worked and drummed up a lot of interest in the Sawtell community on people wanting to see the house as it is very unique, the agent captured the essence of the place and used that as a large selling point. The agent listened, took in a lot of the historical facts and used that as a great way of getting people interested. The auction was not easy but the agent was able to secure a price that both the seller and buyer was happy with. We would recommend this agent to any potential sellers looking to engage an agent that listens to the seller and puts in a great strategy that worked. Would recommend this agent for anyone looking for an honest person to go that extra mile.
