14 Thomas Street, McMahons Point

Overwhelmingly charming and with an array of further embellishment possibilities, this semi-attached cottage has been partially restored, offers scope for additional improvement and presents an opportunity to potentially expand on existing Berrys Bay and Balls Head Reserve views STCA.

From its rare sandstock brick facade and exposed interior sandstone to the elevated rear veranda and gracious level garden, this is a home well on its way to becoming a sought-after showpiece in a standout location. Hallmark early Victorian features include wide timber floorboards; elegant picture rails and a cast-iron fireplace.

The residence currently consists of two refurbished bedrooms, one of which includes the original sandstone/sandstock walls. Through to the centre part of the house and youre immediately captivated by an attractively renovated living and dining area which has French doors leading out to a partly covered veranda sweeping around the modernised kitchen. From this vantage point, you overlook the garden and can see across the bay to Balls Head and beyond. The addition of a second storey STCA would certainly expand this view to incorporate more of the harbour and city.

From the living area, a spiral staircase winds down to a versatile under-utilised sub floor space consisting of two rooms one is the laundry, the other has been used as a bedroom but could serve any number of purposes. Given that it opens out to the garden complete with an under-balcony area, this would be an ideal in/outdoor entertainment area or with immediate improvement could continue to be used as a bedroom.

Along with the opportunities to potentially further add value, the location is also a standout. There are cafes everywhere including the popular Thomas Street Cafe metres from the door, several galleries and boutiques nearby, the ferrys just down on the point and North Sydney CBD is within walking distance.

Considering the enormous potential on offer, this property is guaranteed to attract major interest prior to auction.
