The two-bedroom home is located at 410 Lawrence Hargrave Drive. A renovation has transformed this original miner’s cottage into a sleek designer beach house.
Agent, One Agency Downie & Denison Pender principal Vanessa Denison-Pender said the home had previously been popular as a holiday rental.
“It has been beautifully renovated - they haven't spared any expense in making sure that it’s completely on-trend,” she said.
“It just goes to show that some of these old miner’s cottages still have a lot of life left in them if you know what to do with one.”
Mrs Denison-Pender said much of the interest from potential buyers was coming from Sydney. “There’s been a lot of strong price growth in those areas north of Thirroul - Coledale’s been particularly strong - all the way up to Stanwell Park,” she said.
“I think some Sydneysiders are seeing that the northern suburbs are becoming an extension of Sydney.”
