51 Byrarong Avenue, Mangerton

Ripe for restoration, this cosy home presents an exciting opportunity for renovators, investors or enthusiastic first home hunters to flex their design muscles. Very spacious for a cottage, it's not without its charms – featuring a vast main lounge with archway connection to the dining room, two sun-kissed front beds, and private greenery-filled grounds that could be lovely with some tending. If the site alone appeals, there's superb scope to build your executive dream with two frontages and a flat land parcel, not to mention the 'postcode prestige' of arguably Wollongong's finest suburb.
