Framed by a picture-perfect front garden and a charming heritage façade, this Freemans Bay cottage has been completely rebuilt to offer the ease and luxury of a brand-new home — while still holding onto all the warmth and personality that makes this neighbourhood so special.
Designed to be the ultimate lock-up-and-leave, the current owner has thought of everything. Fully rewired, fully insulated, and beautifully finished, the home is now a modern retreat with all the comforts you’d expect from a high-spec new build.
Inside, you’ll find three generous bedrooms, two stylish bathrooms, and a relaxed open-plan living and dining space that flows effortlessly to a sun-soaked courtyard — the perfect spot for entertaining or unwinding in the afternoon and evening sun. The designer kitchen includes a butler’s pantry, wine fridge, twin Miele ovens, integrated European under-bench fridge, and coffee machine — with a dedicated dining area forming part of the central hub of the home. Cleverly integrated into the living area is a hidden study nook — perfect for working from home without taking over the room.
Storage is generous throughout, including a large, easily accessible attic that could be reimagined as a bonus room or used for extra storage. A gas fireplace adds instant comfort, while solar panels and a Rinnai A26 hot water system keep things efficient and easy.
There’s even a swim spa currently on site — which can stay or go, depending on your plans. Two valuable off-street car parks are a rare luxury in this location, and with a reserve nearby (but not directly bordering), your privacy and outlook are protected for good.
Touches of heritage remain in all the right places — from reclaimed internal doors to polished timber floors and a classic front elevation that blends beautifully into the historic streetscape.
Despite being moments from Queenies Café, Franklin Road and Ponsonby Road, the home feels calm and tucked away — a city sanctuary where native birdlife provides a tranquil soundtrack and the golden glow of afternoon sun fills the garden and living spaces.
Zoned for excellent schools and close to supermarkets, public transport, local fitness studios and the CBD, this is a home where every detail has been thoughtfully resolved. Timeless, tasteful, and move-in ready.
With viewings to suit all schedules, this home will be sold by set date of sale with the option to sell prior to this date, so do not delay. Private viewings are also available outside of these open home times. Just call me to arrange!
