An exciting opportunity to create something truly your own, this much-loved family home is being offered for the first time in more than 50 years. Set in a prized Merewether pocket on a generous 466sqm block, 11 Caldwell Street presents the space, position and potential buyers are always searching for.
Full of original character and comfortable in its current form, the home provides an inviting foundation for those looking to renovate and extend or explore the potential to knock down and rebuild. The north-east aspect captures plenty of natural light, while the substantial block offers plenty of scope to create a home tailored to your lifestyle.
The existing home features two generous bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, a formal lounge, open-plan kitchen, dining and office space, one bathroom, serperate toilet and additional shower and toilet in laundry. High ornate ceilings, picture rails and a fireplace add to its classic appeal, while ducted air conditioning provides year-round comfort.
The massive 2-car garage workshop space, double carport and under-house storage/cellar provide an exceptional amount of space, with additional off-street parking adding further practicality.
The location completes the opportunity. Merewether’s beaches, coastal walks, cafes, restaurants, schools and parks are all close by, offering the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes this one of Newcastle’s most tightly held suburbs.
