Bayside tranquillity, sunshine and enduring cottage charm come together in this freestanding 1920s home, available for the first time in 63 years. Meticulously maintained and newly refreshed, the two-bedroom residence is immediately comfortable, with a spacious single-level layout dressed in soothing neutral tones. High ornate ceilings and leadlight windows preserve its authentic character, while big windows along the northern side bathe the living and dining rooms in natural light, creating a warm and welcoming feel. Move-in ready with scope to evolve, the CDC-compliant block presents potential for a second-storey addition that could capture water views (STCA). Off-street parking adds everyday ease, but it's the location that makes this such an appealing lifestyle purchase. Set in a peaceful pocket just down from Leichhardt Park, the home is 450m to the aquatic centre and Bay Run, with parks, waterfront reserves and boating clubs all around. In a perfect spot for the active outdoor-loving family, it's a 550m walk to the light rail for an easy commute to the city and 750m to Orange Grove Markets.
