13 St James Road, Bondi Junction

Sitting pretty behind a deep forecourt just one street back from Centennial Park, this freestanding double-fronted Federation cottage bears all the hallmarks of its Queen Anne pedigree with a gabled facade, decorative fretwork and bullnose verandah. Built in the early 1900s and offered for the first time in 40 years, the single-level home has been updated where it counts yet offers exciting scope to extend at the rear or add a second storey (STCA). Beautifully presented interiors feature three generous bedrooms, a contemporary kitchen and fluid living spaces that are ready to enjoy while you plan your next move. With an 8m frontage and a sunny backyard, it's an ideal choice for the young family looking to settle in one of the east's most tightly held pockets. In the catchment for Woollahra Public School, it's footsteps to St James Reserve and the Woollahra Gates to Centennial Park, with Oxford Street cafes moments away. - Freestanding family home in a leafy parkside setting - Central hallway, original Kauri boards and high ceilings - 3 large bedrooms, 2 anchored by a marble fireplace - 3rd bedroom with an adjoining study or ideal playroom - Large living room with a marble fireplace, light and airy - Contemporary stone-topped gas kitchen and dining room - Full-height glass doors open to a wide entertainer's deck - Flagstone courtyard garden, rear access to Thompson Lane - Tidy bathroom, large internal laundry, leadlight windows - 200m to Centennial Park Deli, Woollahra Public catchment - Walk to Bondi Junction's urban playground and Westfield Approximate Quarterly Outgoings: Water Rates: $195 | Council Rates: $578
