Some homes ask you to imagine their potential. This one delivers it. Set on a quiet, tree-lined street in one of Newcastle's most liveable outer suburbs, this welcoming home has been thoughtfully renovated from the inside out, leaving little to do beyond moving in and making it your own. Whether you are starting out, settling down or craving more room to live, work and unwind on your own terms, the flexible layout is ready to grow with you.
From the moment you step onto the covered front deck, coffee in hand and overlooking the generous grassy yard, the pace of life here feels different. The front lounge draws you in with polished timber floors and natural light, setting a warm and relaxed tone that continues throughout the home.
A second living area at the rear, complete with split-system air conditioning, creates a separate space for quiet evenings, entertaining friends or giving everyone room to spread out. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen features sleek cabinetry, quality stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, and an adjoining dining area that adapts easily to everyday meals and weekend gatherings.
Both bedrooms are generously proportioned and appointed with built-in robes, ceiling fans, carpet and block-out curtains for restful nights. The main bedroom also includes air conditioning, while the renovated bathroom impresses with a frameless glass shower, floating vanity and contemporary fixtures. A large internal laundry with excellent storage and a separate toilet adds further everyday practicality.
A dedicated multipurpose room and study nook provide genuine flexibility for working from home, studying, pursuing a hobby or creating an additional retreat. The layout offers options without compromising the comfort of the home's main living spaces.
Outside, the substantial rear garage is far more than somewhere to park or store the tools. Incorporating a spacious workshop area and its own toilet, it is perfectly equipped for weekend projects, restoring a prized vehicle, setting up a home gym or creating the ultimate man cave. There is room for a workbench, tools, equipment and recreational gear, with the convenience of bathroom facilities allowing the space to function as a comfortable retreat entirely separate from the main residence. Whether used by a tradesperson, hobbyist, collector or entertainer, it is a standout feature that opens up possibilities many homes simply cannot offer.
A single carport and additional off-street driveway parking complete the practical picture, while the generous yard provides space for children, pets, gardening or relaxed afternoons outdoors.
Shortland sits approximately 12 kilometres from Newcastle's CBD, with Shortland Public School and the University of Newcastle's Callaghan campus both within easy reach. The suburb's abundance of parks and proximity to the internationally recognised Hunter Wetlands Centre place outdoor recreation close to home.
Stockland Jesmond and Wallsend Plaza provide convenient shopping, dining and everyday services, while nearby Sandgate Station offers a straightforward connection to Newcastle Interchange. Renovated, adaptable and enhanced by an exceptional garage and workshop setup, this home offers an inviting lifestyle for first-home buyers, couples, small families and anyone seeking valuable extra space.
