Overview

A Timeless Family Sanctuary

Held by the same family for over fifty years, this property at 1 McMahon Street offers a unique blend of nostalgic charm and modern convenience in the heart of Fairy Meadow. The home evokes the warm and inviting atmosphere of a mountain retreat, featuring a distinctive 'log cabin' style interior that creates a cozy and welcoming environment.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a living space centered around a crackling fireplace, which serves as a focal point and adds a touch of rustic luxury. The interior design combines rich textures and an inviting ambiance, making it an ideal setting for family gatherings and quiet evenings alike.

The property has been thoughtfully updated with a beautifully renovated kitchen and bathroom, blending contemporary elegance with the home's timeless character. This ensures that residents can enjoy modern comforts without sacrificing the unique charm that defines the house.

Situated on a generous 923 square meter flat block with an impressive 16.8-meter frontage, the outdoor space is equally remarkable. The level land offers potential for future development, subject to council approval, providing an exciting opportunity for expansion or enhancement.

A substantial workshop or man cave is included on the property, offering a versatile space perfect for hobbies, projects, or additional storage needs. Additionally, the property features a granny flat or studio, which presents a fantastic opportunity for dual income, or alternatively, a private retreat for extended family, guests, or a home-based business.

The grounds are meticulously maintained, lush, and private, creating a park-like setting that is rare to find in such a central location. This serene outdoor environment complements the home's inviting interior and enhances the overall living experience.

Located in one of Fairy Meadow's most desirable areas, the property offers exceptional convenience with easy access to local amenities. Residents can enjoy the vibrant Illawarra café culture nearby, perfect for casual dining or weekend brunch. Educational institutions such as the University of Wollongong and Wollongong TAFE are within easy reach, making it an ideal location for families and students.

The home is also within walking distance to multiple public and high schools, and everyday shopping needs are well catered for with Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi located just down the road. Commuting is straightforward with Fairy Meadow Train Station, local bus stops, and a free shuttle bus service close by. For leisure, the pristine sands of Fairy Meadow Beach and the scenic cycleways of Puckeys Estate are just a short trip away.

Property highlights include:

  • An expansive 923 square meter level block with a 16.8-meter frontage, ideal for future development (subject to council approval).
  • A rustic interior featuring a cozy fireplace and a unique 'log cabin' vibe that adds character and warmth.
  • A large workshop or man cave providing ample space for various uses.
  • A versatile studio or granny flat that can serve as a teenage retreat or generate additional income.
  • Dual income potential, making it an attractive option for investors.
  • This is the first time the property has been on the market in over fifty years, presenting a rare opportunity.
