Welcome to "Thelma", a captivating double brick home built in the 1870s, where period beauty, modern updates and remarkable versatility come together at 48 Clark Street, Wallsend. Beyond the white front fence, the home makes a memorable first impression with its bullnose verandah, Federation awning, striking coloured glass windows and a recently installed Colorbond roof. A brick-paved side pathway adds further character, while the ReSync solar system, supported by a 25-year warranty, brings a valuable modern advantage to this timeless residence.
Inside, soaring three-metre ceilings, polished Cowry pine floorboards, pressed tin detailing and transom windows immediately reveal the home's rich personality. The master bedroom features coloured glass windows, a wardrobe, split system air conditioning and a renovated ensuite concealed behind a barn door, complete with a built-in shower niche. The second bedroom continues the period appeal with a pressed tin ceiling, while a third bedroom provides further accommodation along the hallway.
A Victorian archway leads into the inviting lounge room, where an ornate green-tiled fireplace, pressed tin ceiling and split system air conditioning create a space filled with warmth and visual interest. Moving towards the rear, a flexible study and mudroom area provides additional everyday functionality beside the main bathroom, which includes a bath, wall-hung vanity, blue floor tiles and a second toilet. The custom-made kitchen combines strong style with practical appointments, featuring black cabinetry, subway tiling, a gas cooker, brand-new dishwasher, traditional built-in oven with a tiled surround, timber ceilings and its own split system air conditioner.
The outdoor spaces are every bit as distinctive. A paved seating area offers an easy place to gather, while the external laundry, additional toilet, natural gas and instantaneous gas hot water add everyday convenience. Further along the northern side pathway sits "Yirataba", a separate self-contained studio positioned behind its own side gate and complete with a bathroom featuring the same blue tiles found in the main residence. Importantly, the fence between the main home and studio can be unbolted, allowing the entire backyard to be opened up and enjoyed as one seamless, expansive outdoor space. The former outhouse has been converted into a handy storage room, along with a garden shed right beside it while established trees and gardens frame a collection of paved and decked spaces suited to fire pits, quiet afternoons and relaxed outdoor entertaining.
