On the market for the first time in over half a century, 86 Coogee Bay Rd, Coogee is set on a significant corner site and is a monument to timeless craftsmanship.
As we saw earlier in the year at 28 The Avenue, Randwick, the Randwick district has a fascinating history evident in its heritage buildings. 86 Coogee Bay Rd is no exception, a grand Victorian Gothic home steeped in history and standing proud as one of Coogee's few Victorian residences to survive in authentic condition. Randwick Council's heritage register states that the property is “One of Coogee’s few Victorian houses to survive in such good condition, complete with original fence. Major streetscape value on important corner site.”
Lovingly held and maintained by one family for over 65 years, the team has enjoyed looking through the archive of photographs and newspaper articles relating to the property. As seen on the right, the owner is pictured through the archway hallway in what we believe is the mid-1970s.
Soaring 3.6m ceilings, corbelled arch entry hall, polished timber and parquet flooring are just some of the details that make this property so exceptional. The double-fronted residence is also set on a significant corner site between Coogee Beach and The Spot's dining hub with dual street frontage and double parking.
The property is open for inspection on Thursday and Saturday 1-1.30pm, ahead of its 18th September auction.
