1 Murray Street, Booker Bay NSW 2257

Prime coastal pocket | fully renovated 1908 estate | 60sqm master suite | premium finishes throughout This property occupies a rare position in a tightly held Booker Bay street where 75% of homes are owner-occupied, limiting supply and supporting long-term value. The complete renovation transforms a 1908 structure into a modern coastal estate with 270sqm of living space, including three separate living areas, a designer kitchen with butler’s pantry, and an outdoor kitchen servicing an inground pool and lit deck. The 60sqm master suite with micro-cement bathroom and built-in robes is a standout for downsizers or families seeking a private retreat. The Mediterranean gardens and premium finishes like Boston oak cabinetry and Santorini gold stone signal a property that competes with new builds while retaining character. Best suited to buyers who prioritise move-in readiness, entertainer spaces, and a low-supply coastal address. The flood and bushfire overlays are present but the 3-metre ground elevation and 6-metre roof height reduce practical exposure; still, these overlays may affect insurance premiums and future resale pool depth. The heritage overlay imposes renovation constraints, but the property is already fully renovated, so the risk is limited to future alterations. The $1.29 million sale two years ago versus current estimates above $2.4 million reflects the renovation uplift, but buyers should verify whether the works had council approvals and any outstanding compliance. The absence of scheduled open homes and reliance on private appointments suggests a targeted marketing approach; buyers should inspect thoroughly for any latent defects behind the finishes. Hold this property as a permanent residence or premium holiday let, leveraging its coastal prestige and low-turnover street to preserve capital growth.
