2c Ocean Drive, Macmasters Beach.

If you're looking for a home brimming with nostalgic charm and endless character, this is the one. From the moment you walk in, it's impossible not to picture an afternoon by the fireplace looking out to the ocean, or a coffee on the timber steps in the sunshine as the local birdlife call from the stunning Sydney Red Gums that line the property. This tastefully renovated and nostalgic single-level cottage is perched neatly on a leafy 498sqm corner block, just a 10 minute walk from the quiet and patrolled Macmasters Beach. Offering two bedrooms with built-ins (one with ocean views), single bathroom and ample off-street parking, this home has everything that you need for a simplistic coastal lifestyle. Bouddi National Park and its picturesque walking tracks can also be reached in a few minutes, as can the perfect coffee at Loo Loo's or Barefoot Café. With original tallowwood flooring, detailed cornices and cast iron fireplace, there are hints of classic Australiana throughout that have been carefully retained. Originally built by the local Maloney family who still live in the area today, the cottage was once part of a larger land holding before the area was subdivided into smaller parcels. With two living rooms, there is potential for a third bedroom, second storey extension or even a rebuild, subject to approval. This delightful home is currently a holiday rental, providing strong returns throughout the year in a quiet area that is within reasonable reach of Sydneysiders and the Hunter. Maloney's Cottage is the perfect opportunity to embrace the coastal lifestyle in one of the Central Coast's most sought-after suburbs, at the centre of the welcoming Macmasters community. •Character-filled and tastefully renovated 1960s cottage •Single level and north-facing on a leafy 498sqm corner block •10 minute walk to the beautiful MacMasters Beach •Two bedrooms both with built-ins (one with ocean views) + one bathroom •Stunning Sydney Red Gums attract an abundance of native birdlife to the expansive back deck •Original features include tallowwood flooring, stunning decorative cornices and cast iron fireplace •Two living spaces – potential for third bedroom •Generous internal storage and external shed •Ample off-street parking •Walking distance to cafés, Bouddi National Park and walking tracks •15 minute drive to Kincumber Shopping Village, 30 minutes to Erina Fair •Potential for second level or knockdown rebuild - STCA
