Built c1901 and forming part of a landmark row of cottages, this wide-fronted semi makes a welcoming first impression with its picturesque facade and authentic period charm but it's the potential here that will really capture your imagination.

Beautifully proportioned interiors open out to a tranquil north-east facing garden while its blue-ribbon bayside setting just up from Montague park is an easy walk down to the Bay Run and along the foreshore to Drummoyne Swimming Centre and the heated open-air pool. Perfectly comfortable as is, there's scope for a second storey addition as well as off-street parking (STCA). With nature at the doorstep and Drummoyne Public School around the corner, this is a perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed waterside lifestyle an easy 1km walk across Brett Park to Birkenhead Point's retail hub.
