Brimming with character, the trendy suburb of Carrington is popular for its many local parks and eateries, as well as its easy access to Newcastle CBD. Young Street is no exception, with beautiful period weatherboard homes and nice restaurants and cafés. Number 48 has a simple yet imposing gabled front façade, which presents a wonderful renovation opportunity. Given the quality of the surrounding homes, a small amount of work on the front has the potential to immediately increase the value of the property.
- A paved front yard means all you need to do is water any pot plants
- A large private front verandah leads into a spacious carpeted lounge with north-facing windows, ceiling fan and reverse-cycle air conditioner
- The separate dining room enjoys a north-facing window, a ceiling fan and a servery hatch to the kitchen, and it is large enough for dinner parties
- The kitchen includes a stove and a big window over the stainless-steel sink with a view of the children playing in the backyard
- All three carpeted bedrooms feature built-in robes and a ceiling fan
- The sizeable sunny backyard has an easily managed garden (just lawn and a single palm tree) and a large paved patio, perfect for outdoor entertaining with family and friends. There are also two garden sheds (small and large)
- Further highlights include: Separate laundry with external access; tiled bathroom with window; security doors and security screens or flyscreens to openable windows
