What's around 56 Laman St

Superb Renovation of an Inner-City Cottage with a Nod to Scandi Design

This classic Cooks Hill worker's cottage has been cleverly transformed into an inner-urban haven using a raw palette of industrial materials including polished concrete floors and steel beams with the original double brick walls stripped back revealing texture and even the odd possum paw print. Clean minimalist lines, amazing storage solutions, and a cozy, bright interior are all a nod to Scandinavian design. Crafted to maximise every square inch of the property, this two-bedroom residence is a brilliant example of small footprint, big impact living. Rather than serving just one function, the open plan living space with a large, chef's kitchen and a work-from-home zone can also accommodate a large dining table for entertaining. Economical to run hydronic under-floor heating keeps things cosy in winter, and cleverly placed skylights and a bi-fold door inject beautiful natural light into the home. And just when you thought things couldn't get much better, the smart renovation has included a north facing deck for alfresco enjoyment, and a courtyard herb garden. Rear lane access to park the car adds the finishing touches although it's an easy decision to leave the car at home and explore everything this prized area has to offer on foot. Pavement cafes, corner pubs and boutique stores set the scene for a fabulous lifestyle. - Double brick worker's cottage c.1895 completely renovated including a new roof, electrics, plumbing, windows and insulation - Five zones hydronic under-floor heating throughout the polished concrete living area and timber floored bedrooms upstairs - Air-conditioned open plan living area with ethanol fireplace, cleverly zoned to include a home office - Large chef's kitchen with stone benches, 5-burner Smeg gas cooktop and electric oven, integrated AEG dishwasher and superb, clever storage solutions - Bathroom with large shower, in-wall w/c, hydronic heated towel rail, Euro laundry - Bi-fold doors with concertina fly screen open to covered deck and courtyard - Two bedrooms on upper level each with built-in storage, one with second office nook - University of Newcastle city campus and Conservatorium of Music nearby Disclaimer: We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.

Outstanding

We met Matt about 7 years ago when he appraised our house, and we were immediately struck by his warmth, energy and enthusiasm. We decided not to sell at that time though. Over the years, we have spoken about various real estate possibilities and he was always eager to help. I was amazed by how was could recall every detail about our house and his enthusiasm was still just as strong. When we finally decided to sell our house, Matt was the obvious choice to sell with. Matt is engaging, energetic, yet highly approachable and down to earth. He has a rare knack of not just selling a house, but selling a ‘dream’, by highlighting all the best aspects of a house to potential buyers with his unrelenting positivity and warmth. His assistant Angela is the ideal complement to Matt, as she is unassuming, diligent, and has great attention to detail. The auction campaign was brisk and efficient, and within 4 weeks of us deciding to sell, our home was sold at Auction, above our expectations and reserve. This was just as the market had turned, and I know that we managed to get one of the last 2022 boom-time prices in Newcastle, thanks to Matt and the team’s ability to hold a short, sharp campaign and keep potential buyers emotionally engaged throughout. If you’re going to sell your home anywhere in the Greater Newcastle area, I wouldn’t recommend selling with anyone other than Mathew Iuliano. :)
