Move in and enjoy the fruits of somebody else’s labour, with this lovely updated home offering a stylish interior that has been immaculately presented to impress.
Located on a low maintenance 448.9sqm block close to shops, schools and sporting fields, the weatherboard and Colorbond clad home has a striking facade with plenty of personality.
Much of the interior has been beautifully updated, with plush grey carpet in the bedrooms, dark timber-look floorboards in the living areas and kitchen, and a fresh coat of paint throughout.
Built in 1940, the home retains some of its lovely original features including higher ceilings, which give the rooms a light, bright feel enhanced by the soft, neutral colour scheme. Picture rails, detailed cornicing and wall and ceiling beading in some of the rooms also hark back to the home’s original era, adding a lovely contrast to the modern colour scheme, flooring and fixtures.
The home has three good-sized bedrooms including two at the front and one at the rear, with the master suite offering internal access into a lovely little adjoining room that would be ideal as a sunroom or study.
The bathroom features a practical design, with entry via a walk-in linen cupboard that offers plenty of storage space.
A new vanity with a chrome mixer and tapware gives the bathroom a modern touch, while the white floor and wall tiles enhance the sense of space and light.
Thin red feature tiles provide a stylistic link to the kitchen, where small square red tiles make an eye-catching splashback. White overhead and underbench cabinetry as well as a separate pantry give the kitchen a fresh, modern feel, contrasting nicely again the deep tones of the timber-look flooring and the dark laminate benchtop.
A stainless steel electric oven and cooktop and concealed exhaust fan/rangehood add to the kitchen’s contemporary style.
The adjoining dining room offers a central space for families to gather with access points into the third bedroom, bathroom and large living room, as well as external access to the rear yard.
The living room sits at the heart of the home, with a working fireplace in an exposed brick surround offering a lovely, vintage focal point in the cosy, comfortable space. A split system reverse-cycle air conditioning is a practical addition that ensures this room stays comfortable all year round.
Outside, the property has plenty of appeal, with a separate laundry and second toilet, as well as a good-sized detached building next to the garage that features two versatile utility rooms. These spaces could be utilised in a variety of ways, from a teenager’s retreat complete with its own living space, to a spacious home business set-up (subject to council approval) with room for an office and separate waiting room.
The compact yard is fully fenced and would be perfect for young children or pets, while the low maintenance lawn area and established gardens ensure you won’t be spending all of your free time on the upkeep.
Concrete pathways lead to the covered entry porch and around to the rear of the home, while a separate concrete driveway offers secure off-street parking and access to the detached single garage at the rear of the block.
Located within walking distance of sporting fields as well as the local primary and high schools this renovated home has plenty of appeal for families, while retirees or savvy investors will love the property’s central location close to all the amenities of Cessnock and the various attractions of the world-renowned vineyards area.
