A heritage-listed cottage in the coveted coastal village of Hyams Beach, on the New South Wales South Coast, has been listed for sale with a price guide of $2.65 million, following a meticulous renovation that seamlessly marries its historic character with contemporary elegance.
Property Highlights
Situated on a generous 809-square-metre block, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom residence is one of the original cottages in the area, dating back to the early 20th century. The property, known as "The Shack," has been lovingly restored by its current owners, who have preserved its heritage features while introducing modern amenities.
Renovation Details
The renovation, completed in 2023, included the installation of new flooring, a renovated kitchen with stone benchtops and Miele appliances, and updated bathrooms with freestanding bathtubs. The original timber walls and ceilings were retained and restored, and the property now boasts a new deck that overlooks the native gardens.
