Auction Location: On Site
Behind a classic 1920s weatherboard façade, framed by a mature frangipani and picket detailing, sits a home with a quietly extraordinary story. Designed by Lyric Architects, this property was conceived as a home welcoming enough for guests, yet private and calm enough for everyday family life.
The original home anchors the front of the site, its character preserved across three bedrooms, recently refurbished with double glazed rosewood timber windows throughout. A main with ensuite access, alongside a beautifully detailed main bathroom finished with brass tapware and a skylight adding a sense of openness and light. Beyond it, a considered new addition extends toward the rear, opening the main family zones to the landscape and unifying old and new under ducted air conditioning throughout.
At the heart of the plan is a central entry courtyard, drawing morning light deep into the kitchen before shifting to a softer afternoon glow. The extension echoes the original roofline, unifying old and new while managing solar gain and protecting the street-facing façade.
Inside, a light-filled, vaulted living and dining space is lined in rich spotted gum cladding and grounded by burnished concrete floors, opening via full-height glazing onto a private landscaped garden. The kitchen is equally striking, spotted gum veneer joinery, marble benchtops, a corrugated steel splashback and floating shelves washed in soft LED lighting, finished with a premium Electrolux appliance suite, including a dishwasher, induction cooktop and steam oven with built-in air fryer.
Outside, the courtyard garden is a genuine retreat. Lawn, garden beds, stepping-stone paths and a corrugated-clad garden pavilion with its own servery window, with off-street parking for two vehicles completing the picture of easy family living. Practical additions include solar power on a private pole, a Ring doorbell for added security, and a 4000L rainwater tank supporting a more sustainable, low-maintenance garden.
Zoned for Tighes Hill Public School and positioned moments from Maryville's cafes, pubs and parks and the Newcastle city fringe, this is a property to inspect in person to fully appreciate what's been achieved here.
