Auction Location: 2/16 Telford Street, Newcastle East & Live via Buy.Realtair.com
Nestled on top of the neighborhood hill awaits this hidden gem of Georgetown which is sure to stun you with all its charm and delightful detail. Beautifully reimagined with practical elegance in mind, the truly transformative renovation of this well positioned house is testament to a family who genuinely understand style, proportion, and how a home should feel.
From the street you are drawn in by the soft sound of the fountain trickling away from behind manicured hedges, which offer privacy and tranquility. Likewise, the rear fountain feature is elegantly framed by a soaring star jasmine feature wall which extends over 20 metres down the entire length of the backyard, forming a fragrant backdrop that is perfect for garden parties.
The rear living spaces have been opened up to make the most of the elevation, one of only a handful of homes in Georgetown with this advantage, giving you sweeping views across to McDonald Jones Stadium. Settle in on the new deck with a glass of wine and you can literally hear the energy of a concert rolling in, or the roar of the crowd when the Knights cross the line.
At the front, the master bedroom watches over an established rose garden that became the muse for the home's softer, floral touches. Pearlescent paint highlights the ceiling roses, catching the light just so, while the new ensuite leans into a more decadent mood with custom made Brazilian rock crystal flower sconces and beautiful floral-patterned tiles that tie back to the garden theme. The main bathroom is pure designer bliss which draws on the owners' European travels, with natural stone tiles and dimmable stone pendant lights, a hand-basin stone lined alcove, French pattern flooring with underfloor heating, and a skylight that frames the blue sky and surrounding canopy offering a little daily luxury paired with a long, relaxing soak in the back to wall tub.
The island kitchen is equal parts timeless and practical, with shaker cabinetry, induction cooking, great storage, and a thoughtful orientation that lets you look out to the deck and stadium beyond. Bi-fold doors open wide to connect everything for easy entertaining.
Set on a 537.5sqm block, the backyard is generous and genuinely usable, with citrus, mulberries, passionfruit vines and level lawn for kids, pets, or weekend pottering. There's also a carport plus a single garage.
You're in a quiet, wide street just 200m from Georgetown's neighbourhood shopping strip, now benefitting from a fresh upgrade with new landscaping, seating, and widened footpaths. Nearby Waratah offers a choice of primary and high schools, childcare options, and Waratah Village for everyday convenience, while there's a choice of gyms in Hamilton North. Regular buses and Waratah Station make commuting simple, and Sunday mornings practically call you to the Farmers' Markets just a 20-minute stroll away. Merewether Beach, Beaumont Street, and the city are all close enough to keep life easy and enjoyable.
