3 Cecil Road, Newport NSW 2106

North-facing 835sqm block | mid-century renovation with studio | Pittwater glimpses | Bungan Beach proximity The property occupies a rare configuration in Newport: a north-facing 835sqm lot with a fully renovated mid-century house and a detached studio, offering genuine dual-living or work-from-home capability. The polished terrazzo floors with underfloor heating, the entertainer’s deck, and the established tropical gardens create a finished product that requires no immediate work. For a buyer seeking a coastal family home with immediate lifestyle amenity and separation of space, this property competes strongly against newer builds on smaller blocks, because the renovation quality and studio addition effectively extend the usable square metreage without the cost of construction. It serves best a professional couple or family who value indoor-outdoor flow, privacy, and walkability to Bungan Beach. The primary risk is the age of the core structure: a 1950s shell, even renovated, may conceal latent issues with plumbing, wiring, or insulation that the mid-century fit-out does not address. The detached studio, while valuable, sits on the same title and may limit future subdivision potential. The solar panels add modest operational savings but are not a price driver. The opportunity lies in holding the property as a long-term coastal base: the block size and orientation support a future second-storey addition or pool if needed, and the Newport-Pittwater High School catchment supports family resale. Buy this property for its finished liveability and rare studio configuration, not for land banking.
