This Central Coast cottage is one of the oldest houses in Davistown, located minutes from the spectacular Davistown waterfront, the local ferry and a walk to local shops and restaurants.

The 2-bedroom home has been fully renovated into a modern industrial style utilising reclaimed local materials, while still retaining a cosy cottage feel and an external federation look.

Stunning recycled details include a feature wall made of maple taken from the original house, cleaned and recycled. Blackbutt hardwood timbers flow through the house and the timber from the old wharf from Newcastle was wire brushed and cut to size to contribute to the finish of the stone wall.

Speaking to The Real Estate Conversation, Paula Taylor said, "Full of character and charm is the best way to describe this lovely home."

“The level of craftsmanship can be seen as soon as you enter the home, with large timber beams taking your breath away upon entry. The owner has thoughtfully and meticulously used gorgeous recycled timbers throughout the home, a nod to her family’s historical connection as being the first original boat builders in the area."

"The home is a flat level walk to the waterfront reserve, really an unbeatable position. The home has rear lane access, allowing the home to be used seamlessly as an AirBnb home or suitable for two families, this makes the home very special.”

“With the bluestone wall and the recycled timber, the character and charm are probably the best I’ve seen in 18 years of real estate,” Paula told The Real Estate Conversation.

The vendor told The Real Estate Conversation, “I have lived in the Davistown area all my life, my family being the “Settrees” - one of the first to settle in Davistown as shipbuilders.”

“As I love the history of Davistown, I didn’t want to take the cottage feel away, though still wanted a warm, cosy modern industrial feel with natural timbers and stone to compliment the heritage.”
