2/120 Bruce Street

Cooks Hill NSW 2300

Tucked away from the street, this freestanding home doesn't shout for attention, but it makes a lasting impression the second you step inside. Architect designed and completed in 2005, it's recently had a glow-up with a refurbished kitchen and a series of thoughtful updates that breathe fresh life into the space, blending creativity and calm in equal measure.

Inside, the entryway sets the tone with a polished brick feature wall that plays like terrazzo. It leads into an open-plan living area grounded by rich, dark-stained blackbutt floors. Natural light and fresh air flow in effortlessly, thanks to 14 floor-to-ceiling louvre windows throughout, some automated with external shutters, while bi-fold doors open out to a private courtyard, complete with a water feature for extra Zen. The downstairs bedroom offers privacy, offering flexibility for guests or a quiet workspace. Upstairs, the entire level is devoted to the master complete with a custom bedhead and walk-in robe, spa ensuite, and a cleverly hidden laundry cupboard and access to the deck for drying clothes (no lugging baskets up and down stairs here). North facing, the deck is the perfect for spot for kicking back and soaking up the inner-city vibes, with rooftops and blue skies stretching out around you.

Step outside and you're in the heart of it all. Centennial Park and Lowlands Bowling Club are around the corner. Cafés, classic pubs, boutiques, a fitness centre, and Harris Farm are all an easy walk. And if the ocean calls, Bar Beach is just 10 minutes away.
