In a quiet pocket of New Lambton near Prietto Park sits this rough diamond, an original 3-bedroom Edwardian cottage with very large backyard, begging to be brought back to life. They sure don't make 'em like this anymore and you can sense the potential immediately on entering this craftsman-built home via the original front door with colourful vintage glass and transom window. Exceptional fretwork adorns the dining/library nook while an original cast iron fireplace with solid timber mantle, ornate plaster ceilings, ornamental picture rails and sash windows all beg to be restored to their former glory. On lifting the carpet in the second bedroom you can see original wide kauri floorboards which are pleading to be refinished and admired.
There is plenty of room to build out into the large, fenced backyard which includes a Colourbond garage, with dual doors accessed either via the front carport or via a sliding gate from the wide grassy laneway at the rear.
This property offers a multitude of options including restoring the home to its original glory and making a family paradise of the big backyard or perhaps a multi-dwelling development STCA making use of the block's rear lane access.
This family and pet friendly area is walkable or rideable to New Lambton South, St Theresa's, Hunter School of the Performing Arts as well as lovely New Lambton Village with its well-frequented eateries and clothing shops. New Lambton boasts a large number of leafy green parks and sporting fields, Blackbutt Nature Reserve and a central location accessible to multiple bus routes, feeder roads to major arterial routes and the home is only 700m to Adamstown station.
