The historic 1880s cottage built at Vaucluse as a dwellings for the lighthouse keeper has returned to the market with $7 million hopes.
The Keepers Cottage, Old South Head Road, Vaucluse has been offered by Carmen and Steve Davidson, who run the mechanic workshop at Bondi Junction.
They bought the leasehold in 2002 for $2.52 million, then commissioning a renovation in 2010 by heritage architect Clive Lucas.
The Davidsons are only the second owners of the leasehold since the federal government first put it on the market with a 125-year lease.
The first were neuro-surgeon John Matheson and his wife Eve who paid $820,000 in 1992 three years after the last keeper departed.
The property was briefly listed in 2008 at $7 million-plus.
It is scheduled for October 22 auction.

Vaucluse Lighthouse Keepers Cottage listed for sale

<html><body>
The Head Lighthouse Keepers Cottage near the iconic Vaucluse lighthouse has sold.
It's the second lighthouse cottage sale in the last year. Last October Nanshan Group co-founder son Song Jianmin paid $7.5 million for the Keepers Cottage.
The Keepers Cottage was sold by Giorgio and Adisa Pompei, who run the Italian restaurant Pompeis in Bondi.
The first part of the house was built in 1817 by the convict architect Francis Greenway and formed one of the pavilions guarding the Greenway lighthouse.
The majority of the home was built in 1837.
Greenway designed the first lighthouse at Vaucluse under Governor Lachlan Macquarie’s instructions and it was first lit in 1818.
However, the soft sandstone started crumbling soon after and a new lighthouse designed by James Barnet was built in its place 1883.
The Pompeis spent the first two years of their ownership restoring the cottage.

Agents D'Leanne Lewis and Joshua Jarvis were asking $3.5 million for the Head Lighthouse Keepers Cottage which had been on the market since May.
Marketed as Australia's earliest Lighthouse Keeper's cottage, the historic home on 1,100 sqm sits in private Italian gardens.
The Keeper's Cottage sits adjacent to the historic Macquarie Lighthouse.

Reflecting its heritage with a balance of colonial craftsmanship and modern touches, the sandstone has been renovated and restored.
There are three bedrooms, two bathrooms, five original open fireplaces and a library. There's also a separate studio on the parcel.
