14/174-176 Coogee Bay Road

With its own private entry, wraparound courtyard and inviting beach-cottage feel, this boutique apartment captures the spirit of Coogee with a sunny disposition and classic seaside charm. Just up from the sand and surf, the two-bedroom hideaway enjoys a quiet rear-of-block setting in Lydia, a tightly held Spanish Mission-style block of only 14. A north-east corner position brings in natural light with bright and airy interiors arranged over a split-level layout. Opening to a sunny wraparound courtyard with a north-facing entertainer's terrace, the two-bedroom apartment is perfectly positioned in one of Coogee's most walkable pockets, just 300m to the beach with everything from cafes and juice bars to supermarkets and surf stores footsteps from the door. An ideal first home, investment or lock-up-and-leave beachside escape, this is the perfect base to enjoy Coogee's celebrated surf and social scene, just 600m to Coogee Pavilion and within easy reach of The Spot, UNSW and the Prince of Wales Hospital precinct. - Quiet rear of the boutique Lydia - Private entry, courtyard on title - Fresh interiors, sunny NE aspect - 2 double bedrooms with built-ins - Split level living and dining zones - Hybrid flooring, sash windows - Modern kitchen with dishwasher - Bright bathroom, integrated laundry - NE facing wraparound courtyard - Block of only 14, high rental demand - Affordable first home or investment - Footsteps to cafes, bars and bistros - Stroll down to the sun, sand and surf - Close to Randwick and PoW Hospital
