31 Council Street

Cooks Hill NSW 2300

This classic Victorian terrace c.1870 is where timeless character meets modern comfort in one of Cooks Hill's prettiest streets. Rich in original detail, it features tall ornate ceilings, a statement timber staircase, and a striking fireplace that anchors the dining room in charm. Even the front porch tiles have a story, salvaged from the old Sydney Airport at Sydenham, they set the tone for a home steeped in history.

Inside, the traditional layout unfolds through separate lounge and dining rooms, flowing into a central island kitchen and out to a newly decked courtyard that's private, peaceful, and perfect for alfresco gatherings. Downstairs, the period-style bathroom with underfloor heating adds a winter warmth. Upstairs, tall windows add natural light and three bedrooms are serviced by a modern second bathroom. The main features built-in robes and opens through French doors to a lacework verandah, an ideal spot for your morning cuppa. Ducted a/c throughout keeps the comfort dialled year-round.

This leafy, heritage-rich pocket is just steps from Darby Street where cafs, wine bars, and boutiques spill onto the footpaths. Council Street itself recently underwent a $6 million transformation, adding public art, greenery, and improved stormwater infrastructure, making it safer and more appealing for pedestrians and cyclists. With the beach, Civic Park, and the CBD all within walking distance, it's a lifestyle that balances coastal calm with inner-city convenience.
