Number 10 Sea View Road, Wollongong is more than a home — it’s a time capsule of quality craftsmanship, proudly perched in one of the city’s most coveted coastal pockets.
Built in 1952, this charming post-war weatherboard was among the first homes on what is now a tightly held street. More than 70 years later, it’s still turning heads thanks to its “old-world charm”.
“This is no cookie-cutter home,” Jordan Andonovski of The Agency Illawarra says. “It exudes old-world charm, and that’s one of the many things people are falling in love with.”
Set on a generous 680 sqm corner block, the home’s hybrid pier-and-beam construction and brick skirting speak to an era when homes were built to last.
Elevated and framed by mature gardens, it offers four light-filled bedrooms, each with green outlooks, and timeless details that give away its age in all the best ways — parquetry floors, ornate cornices and knot-free Oregon joinery that simply doesn’t exist in modern builds.
Even the sunlight tells a story here — streaming through leadlight windows in a rainbow of colour and dancing across the floorboards like it’s been doing for decades.
From the kitchen and sunroom, a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean becomes part of daily life, and a north-facing courtyard invites slow mornings.
“It offers great outlooks from just about every room,” says Jordan. “The courtyard is a lovely spot to enjoy a quiet cup of tea and soak in the sea breeze.”
Extended in the 1970s and freshly repainted throughout, the home is move-in ready — but also offers plenty of scope for personalisation.
With its rare combination of location, character and generous proportions, 10 Sea View Road is a legacy home ready for its next chapter.
The auction guide is $1,250,000.
