Inspired by its laidback coastal locale, this Watsons Bay home blends timeless luxury with elegant living. 

A bespoke take on the traditional fisherman's cottage, the home’s light and airy open interiors lie beyond a quintessential weatherboard facade, with a sun-kissed limestone terrace and garden sanctuary that encourage entertaining.

Speaking to LUXURY LIST WEEKEND, Christophe Serrao said properties with this much space in the garden are hard to find in Watsons Bay in this price range.

“The home is built flush to the street which allows it to have a huge back garden and if you were to renovate or build a bigger home, you would be maximizing the land space as you don’t have any wasted space at the front of the property.”

“Priced at entry level into the Watsons Bay market, this property is somewhat of an icon in the area, as the neighbours have mentioned to me, it used to be the local butcher back in the 1920/1930’s.”

The 1880s cottage was purchased by fashion designer Jodhi Meares in 2017. 

“Jodhi spends most of her time out of Sydney now and has regrettably made the decision to sell the home,” Christophe told LUXURY LIST WEEKEND.

“There are previously DA approved plans for the home to be transformed into a much larger 4-bedroom home, with office and 2 living spaces but still featuring a large, level north-facing back garden.”

Inside the home, original timber floorboards are beautifully complemented by high chandelier adorned ceilings and white finishes.

A free-flowing layout extends through to an open and airy dining and kitchen, with stylish stone island and Smeg gas appliances.

Upstairs reveals two large bedrooms adjoining a decadent bathroom, as well as the flexibility to create a third bedroom from the upper sitting area.

There’s also a versatile studio retreat with a bathroom and wet bar/laundry.

Perfect for a savvy investor, young family or as a Sydney base, the lifestyle here is the major draw card, with Camp Cove, Watsons Bay Ferry, the iconic pub, Doyle's restaurant and Gap walk all within metres of your door. Rapid access to the city via both ferry and bus transport.
