26 Carr Street, Coogee, NSW 2034

Freestanding homes so close to the beach are few and far between and this grand two-storey home holds a coveted setting just 200m to the sand and surf. A property of rare distinction, the c1890 residence stands proud as one of Coogee's few period residences to survive in authentic condition with grandly scaled interiors and fine craftsmanship serving as a gracious reminder of the past. Facing north and bathed in beautiful sunshine, the four-bedroom home has been tastefully updated in keeping with its heritage while offering every creature comfort and a choice of living and dining rooms. Lovingly held, the immaculately presented home features the bonus of double garaging. With a prime location just one block back from Coogee Bay Road's buzzing village hub, this timeless beauty is 300m to Coogee Surf Life Saving Club. Step outside and immerse yourself in Coogee's laidback cafe and surf culture or walk north across the beach to Coogee Pavilion or south to the heritage-listed Wylie's Baths.
