1/159-161 Malabar Road

More like a cottage than an apartment, this boutique coastal retreat combines the privacy of no common walls with the charm of a classic 1940s building just moments from the ocean. On the ground floor of an upgraded block of only four, the bright and airy home is wrapped in windows on three sides, bringing in northerly sunshine and framing tranquil leafy outlooks. Newly refreshed interiors offer immediate comfort, while secure level entry and easy access to a sunny shared garden enhance its appeal for young families, downsizers and investors alike. Peacefully positioned well back from the street, the apartment delivers a wonderful sense of tranquillity in a prized South Coogee setting. Enjoy breakfast at the Lion & Buffalo, stroll to Ivo Rowe Rockpool and oceanfront parkland, or follow the spectacular coastal walk north to Coogee Beach and south to Maroubra's surf breaks. A charming low-maintenance home offering the perfect blend of lifestyle, privacy and convenience, 100m to the bus to Bondi Junction. - Secure terrazzo foyer, video intercom - Ground floor with no common walls - Polished timber floors, high ceilings - Bright and airy, windows on 3 sides - 2 double bedrooms, built-in robes - Open plan living with built-in storage - Sunny dine-in kitchen, Smeg dishwasher - Stylish designer bathroom with a bath - Separate internal laundry, low levies - Sunny common child-friendly garden - An ideal first home or easy investment - Stroll to alfresco cafes and organic bakeries - Walk along the coast to a choice of beaches
