Listing # 1004578 | Listed on 23 April 2025

Tucked away in the heart of historic Russell, just a breezy 260-metre stroll from the vibrant waterfront, lies one of the most delightful cottages you'll find - chic, coastal, and brimming with soul. “Sea La Vie” isn’t just a home; it’s an invitation to slow down, breathe in the salty air, and make space for what really matters - sun-soaked mornings, barefoot walks to the beach, and balmy evenings shared with loved ones under the stars.
Part of the sought-after Russell Cottages complex, this weatherboard beauty blends the warmth of classic design with all the ease and comfort of modern living. Whether you’re seeking a permanent lifestyle shift or the perfect lock-up-and-leave holiday base, this cottage ticks all the right boxes.
Step inside and be welcomed by a spacious open-plan layout downstairs where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow effortlessly - perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The private deck, framed by lush native greenery and semi-covered for year-round enjoyment, is your own outdoor haven for alfresco dinners and summer storytelling with the kids.
Upstairs, you'll find three generous bedrooms, each designed to capture the peaceful essence of coastal living. Two of them open out to cute Juliet-balconies, adding character. A family bathroom and ensuite provide both functionality and comfort for guests or family.
Ownership comes with access to fantastic shared facilities: an inground swimming pool the kids will love, spa pool, playground, pool house, and even communal boat parking - all the ingredients for unforgettable holidays or leisurely living. Step outside the front door and you're in the very soul of Russell, surrounded by vibrant cafes, artisan shops, beaches, and the boat ramp ready for weekend adventures on the water.
This property has been the backdrop to countless cherished memories, and now it’s ready for its next chapter. Whether you see yourself living here full-time or creating a holiday rental that guests will fall in love with, “Sea La Vie” offers both emotional rewards and financial potential.
Don’t miss this rare chance to own one of the coolest cottages in town.
The property will be sold plus GST (if any).
