5 Gala Street, Waverley

Set proudly above the street, this substantial home immediately captures attention with its picturesque appearance. Walking up the path, flanked by an established garden, and ascending the steps to the covered entrance, you’ll immediately sense the unique craftsmanship within. A nod to a previous owner’s skilful plasterwork is evident both inside and out, adding to the home’s distinctive charm.

The formal lounge at the front of the home is a standout, offering views of the ocean and towards Saddle Hill. This space captures the last rays of summer sun and features an open fireplace and beautiful leadlight windows, which also grace other rooms throughout the house.

Four bedrooms, three with built-in wardrobes, provides plenty of space for family or guests. The bathroom includes a shower over bath and vanity.

At the far end is the dining/living room, which flows into a sunroom - a peaceful retreat for reading, and when the bi-fold windows are open, the indoors blends with the outdoors. The separate kitchen leads to a back porch where there is a storeroom, laundry and toilet. While the home has been loved and enjoyed in its current layout for many years, there’s exciting potential for transformation. Imagine opening up the back of the house to create a modern kitchen with a large open-plan living area, seamlessly connecting to the delightful rear section.

Underneath, you’ll find storage areas, and the double garage (two single doors) is on the street front.

Waverley has always been a sought-after suburb to live in, education and other amenities are nearby and access to the city is easy. Whether you embrace its current character or explore its exciting potential, this is a property to treasure for years to come. Don’t miss the chance to make it yours!
