Perhaps the most down to earth of the eastern suburb beaches, Coogee was developed as a seaside town in the early 1900s complete with an English-style amusement pier and was marketed as ‘Australia’s most beautiful seaside resort’. Today it’s known for the friendly locals, beautiful scenery, relaxed vibe and the deep stretch of beach flanked by the Coogee Pavilion and iconic Wylie’s Baths.

You know it’s a good street when properties rarely trade as they become forever family homes. David Tyrrell has just listed a timeless classic at 7 Hamilton Street, Coogee on 462sqm approx. The owners have lived on the street for 40 years and at no7 for more than two decades. The vendor says, “It’s the best street in Coogee by far! There’s a great sense of community and those who move here never want to leave. Everyone looks out for each other, there are plenty of kids in the street and we get together every year for our annual street Christmas party. It’s close enough to the beach that you can walk down for a morning swim or surf but away from the hustle and bustle. We’re at the top of the hill, close to Gordons Bay, which means we get an ocean view as well as the fresh sea breeze.”

Another rare opportunity, going under the hammer tomorrow, is the sub penthouse apartment in the landmark Coogee View that stands sentinel at the foot of the beach. The first time offered to the market, the sprawling north facing apartment at 901/56 Carr Street, Coogee was purchased off the plan 25 years ago and holds the best view of the beach you’ll ever see. David and Alexander Phillips will open the apartment for its final inspection tomorrow from 9.45am to 10.15am, with the auction to follow at 1.30pm.

Last week, David sold 56 Ritchard Avenue, Coogee after just one day on the market to a database buyer who was looking to upgrade from an apartment in Clovelly, but there are still plenty of fantastic options available. Check out 1/130 Brook Street, Coogee which makes a great alternative to a semi just 400m to the beach and is open for inspection by appointment. 

The team has sold 12 properties since last Friday and met 828 buyers which is the highest number since mid-February. Take care, stay safe and keep connected.
