Charming Freestanding Cottage in a Coveted Harbourside Pocket

Positioned on one of Waverton's most tightly held streets, this freestanding 1880s home blends period charm with refined architectural updates. Designed with light, texture and flow in mind, it offers a timeless aesthetic and an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Filled with beautiful natural light throughout the day, the home features two separate living areas anchored by a contemporary fireplace and high ceilings, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen and dining zone - the natural hub of the home.

The skylit kitchen is a standout, appointed with stone benchtops, a gas cooktop and two ovens, making cooking for family or guests effortless. It connects to the dining area framed by sandstone detailing and garden views. Windows look out to the private courtyard and landscaped outdoor space, creating a calm and inviting setting for entertaining or relaxation.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms each include built-in wardrobes and leafy outlooks, complemented by a well-maintained bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The lower-level sandstone wine cellar provides a distinctive space for storage or entertaining, while air conditioning and cross-ventilation ensure year-round comfort.

Adding further appeal, the home comes with DA approval for an additional bathroom, fourth bedroom, laundry and pool - offering scope to expand and enhance the lifestyle on offer.

Situated in a peaceful harbourside pocket close to Waverton Village cafés, transport, schools and the foreshore, the property is only 650m from Waverton station, and 750m to Victoria Cross Metro, and North Sydney CBD. It's a rare combination of heritage character, architectural quality and modern convenience.
