A well-known property on Carrington’s main street, this dual level terrace c.1900 has had previous lives as a barber shop, bootmaker and several small practices and recently operated as Encasa hair salon in the front two rooms of the ground floor. The property’s B2 Local Neighbourhood zoning delivers both residential and commercial appeal making it highly desirable as a mixed-use premise.
Secure the entire building for your own use and run your thriving business in the large shopfront downstairs, which enjoys prominent street exposure in a bustling locale. And at day's end, put up the closed sign, lock-up and enjoy the rest of the property as your main residence. Timber floors, 3.4m ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a classic upper-level verandah offer a glimpse into the home’s period soul, while wonderfully bright interiors and stylish updates to the bathroom, kitchen and delightful rear courtyard ensure it functions as a thoroughly modern home. Alternatively, you may choose to convert the property back into a beautiful home. From an investor's standpoint, there's scope to line your pockets with income should you wish to lease out the building.
There’s something special about living in Carrington, named by locals as ‘Carrodise’ for its welcoming community, laidback lifestyle and fabulous 7-minute bike ride to the harbour, city, and beaches. Sitting on a spit on the opposite side of the Hunter River to the rest of Newcastle, ‘island life’ has its own unique vibe with a local gin distillery, a weekly 5km park run and a rowing club on Throsby Creek, along with a great set of local shops, cafes, and corner pubs.
