Overview

Classic bones, modern updates and large garage with retreat

Just 600m from The Junction and 500m to sought-after Hamilton South Public School, Turnbull Street is one of those addresses families hold onto for decades. With parkland, cafés, and beautiful beaches all close by, it's easy to see why this pocket of Newcastle is so loved. Treasured by the same family for over 33 years, the home still carries its late-1920s charm with its ornate fretwork, timber floors, coloured glass windows, and beautiful crossbar ceilings. Three bedrooms sit peacefully at the front, the main with a walk-in robe and ensuite, while another includes an adjoining sunroom that's perfect as a study. A cosy lounge anchors the original footprint before opening to a fresh new contemporary bathroom. Step down the hallway in the morning and you're greeted by sunlight pouring into the open plan living and dining area, the warmth bouncing off the timber kitchen and northeast-facing windows. From here, step onto a wrap-around verandah where you can sit with your morning cuppa and watch the day unfold. The wide driveway gives kids or grandkids plenty of room for bikes and scooters, while the oversized double garage comes with an upper-level retreat that teens will no doubt claim as their own. Set in a close-knit, family-friendly community, the lifestyle here is easy and inviting. Wander to The Prince or Mary Ellen for a casual meal, or head to the beach in five minutes for a surf or swim. With The Junction precinct's boutiques, cafés, and supermarkets just a 10-minute stroll away, everything you need is right at your fingertips. - Classic double brick and tile home on 594.4sqm block, prized northeast rear aspect - Stretch out in the cosy lounge or open plan family room with a/c - Spacious timber kitchen, gas cooktop, under bench oven, dishwasher - Three robed bedrooms, main with ensuite, one with sunroom/study and gas fire - Sky-lit main bathroom with freestanding bath and frameless glass shower - Wrap-around decked verandah overlooks established backyard - Freestanding double garage with upper level retreat - Bar Beach 2km, Darby Street cafés 2.1km, Honeysuckle 2.9km Council Rates: $3,814.88 per annum Water Rates: $938.61 + Usage per annum Estimated Rental Return: $1,150 - $1,250 per week Disclaimer: we have obtained all information provided here from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
