Hutton bought the three-bedroom cottage, which was built in the 1960s.
It sits on a 1048 square metre block with direct access to the water’s edge and 180-degree views of the Pacific Ocean.
Hutton’s plans for a knockdown-rebuild at the site are moving forward after being approved.
She previously shared the plans with her 70,000-plus Instagram followers, ahead of “what will be a two-year build of a fab new beach house”.
“We moved down here over 2½ years ago and loving Sydney’s south coast,” she wrote.
“Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.
“It’s going to be the journey of discovery and learning on the go with massive earth works, subsoil drains, hydraulic engineering and reworking the site.”
The architect’s visualisation of the plans shows a big build on the sloping oceanfront site.
On Instagram earlier this week, Hutton responded to a comment regarding the colour of the new home’s exterior as shown in the artist’s impression.
When a follower asked, “brown?”, Hutton responded with, “nope . . . it’ll be charcoal. It’s the original render”.
The home’s previous owner had lodged a DA with Wollongong City Council in early 2021, for the “demolition of dwelling house and construction of new dwelling house and swimming pool”.
This was later approved by the Wollongong Local Planning Panel.
Council documents indicate that project had an estimated cost of $1.582 million.
Last year, Hutton lodged an amended DA, which was recently approved.
Wollongong City Council documents show the modified DA was for the “demolition of dwelling house and construction of new dwelling house and swimming pool”, with the modification of the “deletion of pool and associated structures, reconfiguration of dwelling, increased setbacks and addition of outdoor room”.
