Lyallbay

Enjoy the bushland beauty of Ngaio Gorge and distant views of the harbour from the living area of a boutique 1930's cottage. Here, clever design and use of space creates a 2-bedroom cottage with a 50m2 footprint that feels much, much bigger. The second bedroom opens through French doors to a sheltered patio where you can while away the afternoon. If you don't need two bedrooms, the second would make a fabulous dining room instead. The house glories in a combination of period woodwork and leadlight windows, and a modern renovated kitchen and bathroom. There's also a separate laundry and storage under the house so the actual floor area is effectively greater than the stated 50m2. The small footprint on a large block makes the property ripe for an extension in the future. One of the best features of the property is the extensive 827m2 section of native bushland. There's a path winding through it to a vegetable garden patch and a hidden viewing area that allows you to take in the valley in private. Finally, a garage just across the road means that your car will be secure and there's no hunting for a precious parking space. LIM & Building Report available.
