Mere steps from the reinvigorated village scene of Hastings’ High Street and the wide open space of the foreshore, this wonderfully updated 3-bedroom home presents the perfect space for first-time buyers, downsizers and investors craving a touch of modernised cottage charm.

Full-height fencing hides its characterful weatherboard facade from the street while creating valuable yard space perfect for the kids, before opening into a well-zoned living, dining and kitchen arrangement enjoying the classical appeal of its original hardwood floors. Quality Westinghouse and Bosch appliances make everyday cooking a breeze, while a casual breakfast bar is easily adaptable as an open home office space.

A cute bathroom opposes a full-sized laundry and a separate toilet, closely serving the three double bedrooms lining the private hallway. Complete with ceiling fans, gas heating and a double garage, it sits a short meander from High Street cafes and boutiques, larger department stores, St Marys and Hastings primary schools, Hastings V/Line Station, Pelican Park, and the beautiful open space of the Hastings foreshore.
