This home could be “the Cat’s Meow”, for a young couple starting out, to borrow a phrase from the era it was built (1940s), very retro or is that vintage?
Situated within walking distance to Cronulla’s beautiful beaches and a shorter walk to the train.
Miranda Westfield Shopping Centre is a five minute drive down the road for great retail and cinema.
The Royal National Park is just over the Port Hacking, an enjoyable ferry ride from Cronulla.
Settled in a leafy cul-de-sac, in a position that always seems to catch the sea breeze, the house is of full brick construction with a tiled roof.
The current owners have put a great deal of work to bring their home back to its former glory but with a growing family have decided to move on.
The home consists of two huge bedrooms with most of their original features intact, including the art deco moulded cornices, picture rails and doors with their brass door handles with a lovely patina.
It has a separate lounge and dining, these too have retained some of their original features including the cornices and the solid fuel fireplace.
French doors lead out on the front verandah.
The kitchen is large with a standing stove, plenty of room for a butchers block or 1950s style breakfast table for two.
It has been recently updated with a lick of paint to a neutral palette which complements the original tiles.
The tiles feature a lovely burnt orange detail in the art deco style. And the cupboards sport retro “boomerang handles”.
There is a substantial sunroom facing onto the back yard and patio, with picture windows facing east and north to catch the morning sun. There is potential to take some of this area to make a third bedroom.
The bathroom includes bath/shower and vanity, the toilet is separate, as is the laundry, which has room for washer, dryer and laundry sink and a built in cupboard.
Plenty of yard space to have a game of cricket with side drive to the tandem garage and workshop.
