Overview

Character and Charm on the Cusp of the City

Just 150 metres from Beaumont Street, this circa-1910 weatherboard cottage puts Newcastle's cafe culture, restaurants and independent shops footsteps from the front gate. The house brings its own credentials, too: high ceilings, dado boards, timber flooring and decorative fireplaces give the interior their period stamp, backed by two bedrooms and a floorplan with useful flexibility. An open plan lounge and dining room covers the main living zone, the updated kitchen is ready for use, and a second living area can double-up as a study or work-from-home space. Outside, a paved courtyard with established landscaping and second toilet makes the most of the available space without demanding too much maintenance while adding another angle for buyers thinking beyond the existing footprint, with potential to extend up or out (STCA). Live in it, lease it or take the next step with a renovation. Its solid rental history adds weight to the investment case. Schools, parks and public transport are close by, rounding out an inner-city address where the location is one of absolute convenience. * Circa-1910 double-fronted weatherboard cottage with picket fence and front verandah * Step inside to an open plan living and dining area with split-system AC and fireplace * Updated kitchen features a s/steel dishwasher, original coal oven and great storage * Two bedrooms share a tidy bathroom with shower-over-the-bath combination * Versatile rear living/study/hobby room offering plenty of built-in storage * Private north-to-rear courtyard to relax or entertain, option to extend STCA * Stroll to a diverse range of cafes, restaurants and shops, walk to the train station * 1600m to Newcastle Interchange; 10 minute drive to Newcastle CBD and beaches Council Rates: $2,300 PA approx Water Rates: $1,032 + Usage PA approx Rent Potential: $750 - $800 PW approx
