No reserve auction for charming 125yr old Kiama harbourside cottage.

This stylish 92 square metre gem in Kiama on Sydney’s South Coast will be auctioned…..with no reserve!

Onsite Saturday 12th March at 3pm, 4 Terralong Street, Kiama.

This truly is one special home, steeped with history, being the site where multi—Oscar winning Hollywood fashion designer Orry Kelly grew up.

Feast your eyes on this amazing circa 1880 two-bedroom cottage, featuring high ornate ceilings, original polished floorboards, stained glass windows and original claw foot bath.

The house also has doors and features from the 1842 licensed Steampacket (and later Brighton) hotel.

There is one small catch though. The house does not come with the land it sits on and the winning bidder will need to arrange for its removal and transport at their expense.

Selling agent Terry Dawson from Ray White Kiama said the owners plan to rebuild on the block and nobody can stand the thought of demolishing the period gem.

“It is such a gorgeous little cottage. That is why we are doing this. It is so charming and I would love to see someone continue living in it somewhere”.

If you have the land, this famous little cottage could be your home, holiday house, granny flat, the possibilities are endless.

According to veteran property investor and director of Property Techniques, Peter Lane, ‘literally’ moving a house can save people huge sums over the cost of building new, but that a few elements need to come together in order for it to be possible.

Indicative transport costs if this destination site is good (level with good access) would be about $30,000.

For further details on this unique opportunity, please call Terry Dawson Ray White Kiama on 02 4232 3300 or 0414 898 237.
