'Ultimate blank canvas': High auction hopes for Cooks Hill bungalow

Listing agent and auctioneer Anthony Merlo of Movable believes his upcoming auction of 157a Dawson Street, Cooks Hill will be one of the hardest fought auctions he has conducted for some years.

This original California bungalow on a corner block in Cooks Hill is going to auction on October 15 with a guide of $1,450,000. The home sits opposite Centennial Park and is only a short walk to Bar Beach and Harris Farm Markets on Darby Street.

Originally purchased by Kevin and Molly Brittliff more than 60 years ago, the three-bedroom weatherboard bungalow has seen very few changes in that time.
