Beautifully updated behind its charming period façade, this classic weatherboard home delivers the kind of family living that feels instantly easy and wonderfully connected. The c.2015 redesign opened the layout right up, creating a far more social heart to the home where indoor living flows seamlessly outdoors to a covered entertaining deck designed to be used year-round. High ceilings, leadlight windows, a hallway arch and dado boards bring warmth and personality, while modern updates throughout make everyday life incredibly comfortable.
Set privately behind an electric gate on a deep 475sqm block, the home reveals three generous bedrooms, two beautifully finished bathrooms and a light-filled open plan living and dining zone anchored by a Caesarstone kitchen with gas cooking, steam and pyrolytic ovens, and excellent storage. French doors extend the space outdoors to the deck where built-in cabinetry, a sink and natural gas BBQ connection make entertaining feel effortless.
What really sets this property apart though is the large backyard. Deep, established and unexpectedly spacious for this part of Cooks Hill, it gives kids and pets room to play, veggie gardens space to thrive, and still leaves room for the versatile air-conditioned studio tucked quietly at the rear. Your teens will love this space as a hang-out or it offers a quiet disruption-free area to work from home.
Life in Cooks Hill revolves around walkability, character and proximity to the city and beaches. Darby Street forms the social heart of the suburb, lined with coffee spots, wine bars, boutiques and some of Newcastle's best casual dining, while Bar Beach, Dixon Park and Merewether are all close enough for a morning surf or swim before work. The neighbourhood itself has a wonderful mix of heritage terraces, leafy streets and beautifully renovated homes that give it a relaxed inner-city feel without losing its sense of community. Families love the proximity to parks, sought-after schools and the harbour, while professionals and downsizers are drawn to the lifestyle convenience of being able to leave the car at home and stroll almost everywhere.
