A Freestanding 1920s Beach Cottage With An Idyllic North-Facing Garden
Just up from the beach yet away from the hustle and bustle, 'Ellenslea' is a freestanding coastal cottage full of warmth, soul and possibility. Set on an unusually deep 310sqm approx, this c1920 classic combines timeless charm with flexible modern living currently configured as two self-contained dwellings and ideally suited to inter-generational family living or as a savvy home-plus-income opportunity. High ornate ceilings, whitewashed floorboards and original fretwork bring a classic beach house feel and a sense of nostalgia but it's the huge north-facing garden that's the star of the show with its lush lawn and firepit patio framed by leafy greenery as the perfect spot to relax, play or entertain alfresco. Both levels feature stylish bathrooms and generous living areas, while the adaptable layout offers scope to extend, reimagine or transform into one substantial family residence (STCA) with DA approval for parking already in place. A breezy 700m walk across Blenheim Park leads to Wylie's Baths and its 800m to the beach and Coogee Surf Life Saving Club delivering the ultimate in relaxed seaside living.
