79 Beach Street, Coogee, NSW 2034

Landmark c1940s Residence with spectacular ocean views

With magnificent views north to Clovelly Point, across Coogee Bay and Wedding Cake Island to Wylie's Baths and further south to Malabar Headland, this gracious mid-1940s home is set on approximately 690 sqm of land. Located in a blue-chip elevated position, it is just a short walk to both Coogee Beach and Gordons Bay. Presented to the market for the first time in 56 years, this landmark 2-level home has had only three owners since being built by leading bookmaker Tom Powell, who sold it to two-time Melbourne Cup winning jockey Billy Cook in 1950. This mid-century classic, which the current owners bought in the 1960s, retains elegant hallmarks and wide windows maximising expansive ocean views and coastline. The sunlit house features generous bedrooms, spacious living and dining areas and a family/games room with original cocktail bar and soaring 3.7m high ceiling. Explore the scope for a contemporary revamp of the immaculately maintained interiors flowing to alfresco terraces and level child-friendly gardens. Enjoy the ultimate beach lifestyle close to cafes, Coogee Pavilion, coastal walks and buses.
