Lovely, Level Quiet Cul-De-Sac, No Power Lines, No Busy Main Road, Quality Neighbours, Renovated & Move in Ready with Extreme Potential!
Priced well below its worth, these owners have watched other agents dropping prices in Caves Beach left and right and they can’t afford to hold out for what their home is really worth, because they have already bought elsewhere, giving some very lucky retiree, first home buyer or investor an opportunity of a lifetime.
In far better condition than other homes in this price range, it is both bigger, more renovated and move in ready and it is also located in a far quieter, safer and flatter location.
Having sold a home behind this property on the busy feeder road into Caves Beach for $1.3M and a home on a cut through street, not 300m away for $1.5M, this property is a standout buy in a standout location and going for an incredibly reasonable price for what it offers and where it’s located.
Off the radar of out of town buyers, locals know and appreciate this pretty little patch and especially love that it is still a little bit of a hidden treasure.
Some of the most savvy and shrewd buyers we know, have chosen to make this street home, one taking an ugly duckling old hacienda brick home to lofty new heights, with a complete Hamptons clad make over, just across the road in Farrington Close, others have gone for a more contemporary blend of styles.
When you drive the cul-de-sacs here, you can see the quality of people who live here, some homes have been extensively renovated by new owners moving in, while many original owners here are now retirees, they are as “house proud” as ever, with manicured lawns and neat as a pin residences.
They’ve raised their families here and they have never wanted to leave and the minimal turn over in these parts is proof of the quality of the neighbourhood and its long term residents.
They’ve loved the easy stroll to drop off their wee ones to the local Uniting Church Pre-School or long day care centre before work, they’ve loved teaching their little ones to ride their bikes to Caves Public, one of the most sought after primary schools around, without any fear over their kids having to cross a main road, they’ve appreciated that their teenagers don’t need a lift to high school, to the beach for a surf or back to Swansea Maccas, because being on the flat, it’s an easy ride or walk to everywhere from here and you don’t have to cross the highway to get to Swansea either.
Being on the flat and surrounded by quality homes and wonderful neighbours, keeps owners here long long after their kids have left home, the flat streets and easy walk to everything in Swansea’s main street and back at Caves can’t be denied.
A cul-de-sac, off a cul-de-sac, there’s barely a car that drives into the street that isn’t a local resident, so it’s beautifully quiet and feels very safe and secure, perfect for downsizers and families with young kids as well.
Walk the kids or grandkids to the netball courts or to watch the pony club events on one weekend a month and have no excuse not to go to the gym or church, just around the corner too.
An idyllic location, I just love how I don’t see one ugly power line, one of very few places in Caves Beach that boasts under ground power, without a very estate or subdivision look, it’s pre-project home, but developed late enough to not have all the problems of old houses full of asbestos, the homes here are honest and offer incredible potential.
The first photo you see here is of a renovated and extended property in Caves that was this exact same home originally.
Obviously the look and size has changed a lot.
What a difference a new Colorbond roof and rendering the brick makes, it also looks completely different because of the addition of a double garage, well actually a semi enclosed double carport out front.
The original single garage and part of the living were converted into a beautiful new master bedroom and ensuite, making it 4 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and 2 car look like new home and it was achieved with minimal expense and minimal construction.
Sometimes it’s what you don’t know and what you can’t see about a location and a property that makes you kick yourself later on for letting someone else snap it up.
Presented really well, with a renovated stone tops kitchen and modern bathroom, you or perhaps a top tenant for now, can move in and enjoy this home and its location immediately, as it offers all the key ingredients straight up, with a fresh modern kitchen and bathroom, a separate toilet, open plan rear living that spills out to a great big covered back entertaining deck and easy care backyard with all 3 bedrooms boasting built in robes.
Freshly painted by professionals, there’s nothing you need to do here short term and the price is less than complete knock downs on busy roads have sold for and I know where I’d rather live day to day and the smart local buyers s know it too ….

So don’t wait until there’s none left and anything new coming on is dearer, remember this isn’t somewhere people don’t want to live and don’t want to holiday!
Just 1 hour North of Hornsby and 30 minutes from Newcastle and The Coast, the drive here and to anywhere from here is easy and when you get here, you forget the big smoke, you unwind and you remember what it’s like to live hassle and stress free by the sea and by The Lake.
Surf, dive, jet ski, 4 wheel drive Nine Mile beach or the Watigans, hike our national parks and glorious coastline, play golf, play bowls, cafe hop and window shop, just get out of the rat race and enjoy the simple things again, in a home you can do nothing to, or great things to!
