Graeme Brownlow, of Walkom Estate Agents, is marketing the four-bedroom residence at 167 Dawson Street in Cooks Hill.

It features a convict brick front courtyard, original hardwood floors, cast iron fireplaces, timber-lined ceilings and a traditional upper-level verandah.

There are two new stylish bathrooms, a Caesarstone island kitchen, rear covered entertaining deck and level yard.

Three bedrooms are upstairs with a fourth on ground level. The home has formal and informal living and potential for off-street parking.

"Most terraces in Cooks Hill don't offer what this terrace has," Mr Brownlow said. "It is a wonderful, big family terrace with a terrific outdoor area, right in one of the better parts of Cooks Hill. I think there should be strong interest."

The property is located close to Centennial Park and within walking distance of schools, Darby Street cafes and restaurants, the beach and shops.

It is set for auction on May 8 and open for inspection for the first time Saturday at 11am. A guide has not yet been disclosed.
