We’ve all heard of the story of the ugly duckling that turns into the beautiful swan.
Well, this adorable harbour side cottage ain’t exactly ugly, but opportunities to beautify it and make the most of the unbeatable harbour views present themselves at every turn.

Its cascading layout makes the most of the harbour vantage point from all of the living areas, and captures the sunshine to create a light bright environment in which to exist.

Part of a lower level road that runs from the main thoroughfare of Grey Street, the cottage is nicely protected from the road by several lush screening trees.

To the front of the home is a single carport and storage area and a newly bitchumised driveway which runs beside the home to the newly subdivided rear block. A picket gate and small courtyard area sit a level lower than the carport and can be accessed by a quaint set of steps.

Running along the front section of the home is a wood panel lined sunroom which leads into a unique wet area entry room with regal jade mosaic style tiling. In the room, a blue tinted pressed glass window pane within an ornate sash window gives character, while the deep bath under the shower and vanity are classic additions.

Step down from the wet area to the spacious frontal laundry which provides outdoor access to the cottages quaint little yard space and clothes line.

Step up into the combined kitchen and dining area which has been freshly painted with crisp neutral colours and feature a decorative band to break the two tones in heritage style. The kitchen is a 50′s retro number in complete white- so if a complete replacement wasn’t on the cards, it would be easy for a creative eye to accessorise it up and make it look oh so trendy. It features an upright oven and stove built into a recess, a large L shaped bench and bar, double pantry and a separate bench area housing the sink.

Running along the entire rear wall of the space is a chunky set of awning windows which enable the area to overlook the unspoilt harbour views and down to the perfectly placed sunken lounge room which is accessed via a glass door and timber stairs with ornate wrought iron railing.

Here the extra height exposed beam ceiling makes a grand statement and all of the attention turns to the views over Princess Royal Harbour to the wind farm and back to town, creating a great place to ignore the TV and simply embrace the natural beauty that surrounds you.

There’s even a little doorway to a side sitting area/ sun lounge which is oh so inviting for a quiet afternoon curled up with a cuppa and a book.

Again, some simple freshening here would create a completely inspiring space.

Finally, a little hallway leads past a stacked linen closet and to the homes two huge bedrooms, the master, a king size, with those incredible harbour views.

That is it in a nutshell; a cute little abode with a world of potential ahead of it and views that can never, ever be built out.

In this price range, it’s an absolute rarity.
