Overview

Character, convenience and a sunny backyard

There's plenty to love about the character of this smartly presented four-bedroom home, from its classic brick-pillared verandah and bay windows to beautiful decorative ceilings and original fireplace. Fresh, crisp décor and new flooring give the interiors an easy move-in-ready feel, while generous room sizes make it a comfortable choice for families. Newcastle CBD is just over 6km away and Bar Beach around 8km, keeping work, city nights and weekends by the ocean all within easy reach. The single-level layout opens with a spacious lounge before four bedrooms lead through to dining and a practical kitchen, with the renovated main bathroom adding a contemporary touch. At the rear, a study/sunroom provides a handy spot to work from home before stepping out to a large covered deck for alfresco dining and entertaining. Set on 434.4sqm, the prized northeast-facing backyard catches loads of sunshine and offers plenty of space to play with. Landscape it, create a fabulous entertaining zone, add a pool, studio or perhaps extend the home to create more living space, all subject to council approval. There's also extensive under-house storage, off-street parking and room to make further improvements over time. Location adds another layer of appeal, particularly for medical and education professionals. Calvary Mater Hospital is footsteps away, with the University of Newcastle just 1km from home. Families have a good choice of nearby schools including St Philip's Christian College and Waratah Public School, while Waratah Village puts Coles, Kmart, eateries and everyday essentials within 1.5km.
