The most dazzling boatshed in Cornelian Bay could be yours today.
No.36 was built in 1948, is the largest of this coveted group of sheds, and it offers an uncommon level of luxury.
It is far more than a place to store a dinghy and some fishing rods.
No.36 features a bathtub with a view of the bay, a kitchen, a timber deck extending over the water, and a cosy wood fire.
Peterswald property representative Lucinda Scutt said the boatshed had hit the ground running with inquiries coming in immediately.
“Within the first 24 hours there were five inquiries, including people who booked private inspections,” Mrs Scutt said.
“With it being located at the end closest to the park and restaurant, its full renovation and how pretty it looks, No.36 was always going to be popular.
“It’s a no-brainer for people; they have jumped at the chance to see it straight away.”

Mrs Scutt said Peterswald had sold No.36 about 18 months ago.
It fetched $450,000.
“We have been in touch with people who missed out during the previous campaign. Some are keen to come and have a look at it again,” she said.
“These boatsheds are the ultimate retreat and so unique to the area.
“The owner of No.36 uses it as an art studio. It’s a great spot for her to paint and for her grandchildren to spend a summer’s day hanging out and kayaking.
“It has been a while since a Cornelian Bay boatshed was sold. They don’t change hands all that often.”

Cornelian Bay adds to the appeal, with the popular Boathouse Restaurant, a dedicated dog-walking area, children’s playground with barbecue facilities, sports fields, walking trails, and a path into the city alongside a cycleway.

All of these boatsheds are for recreational use only, meaning owners cannot live there.
