To enquire, please email or call 1300 815 051 and enter code 6248 A tastefully renovated weatherboard cottage blending the original character and charm of the past with the comfort and modern of today. This much loved home is now ready to create a lifetime of memories with its new owner/s. Fully renovated with new kitchen, bathroom, electric wiring, re-pointing of tiles and gutters, even many of the light globes are under warranty for years for peace of mind! As one approaches the home, it exudes a feeling of style and warmth while still remaining subtle and classic. The new hardwood picket fence in brilliant white welcome one in. With two established trees mixed with the cottage garden lavender, this low maintenance front yard is practical while still having a lovely raised grass area. The driveway connects to the brick single car garage with workshop and storage measuring 4.1m wide by 6.2m deep. For those with a second vehicle, boat or caravan there is also access to the rear of the property via side lane to a second colourbond shed with same dimensions. Upon walking up the front steps, one once again notices the marriage of subtle classic yet modern muted tones in the tiles, and leadlighting in the front door. High ceilings celebrate the pendant that greets, and the solid timber floorboards that run throughout the home welcome you in. If you love your own little private retreat (even amongst a house of business) then the master bedroom may just be your favourite space in the house, with generous proportions, working original fireplace, ornate ceiling, floor to ceiling built-in wardrobes and it's own bay window area with original timber double hung windows. Also boasting it's own additional private sunroom, this would be the perfect spot for early morning reading as the sun welcomes you through the blinds to the start of a new day... or perhaps a study, yoga space, nursery or ensuite (STCA). This has been fitted with dimmer to control mood lighting as needed. Bedroom 2 also benefits from beautiful morning light and also boasts large floor to ceiling built-in wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is the perfect size for single or double bed or perhaps a study area. Each, along with the master have LED lighting and new ceiling fans. The hub of the home - the open plan kitchen, lounge and dining area - is only restricted by your creativity. Imagine making afternoon tea in the kitchen at the large composite stone breakfast bar while your friends sit and chat with you. Boasting new electric stove and cooktop, dedicated integrated space for your large refrigerator and additional entire wall of large pantry cupboards and pull out organizer that will make the chef of the house's heart sing. Don't be fooled by this area... everything is only a few steps away, but there is storage galore! Last but not least, the sink looks directly outside to the garden and entertaining area, so you can easily keep an eye on the kids as you get other things done! And if you don't have kids, then it's a delightful space to look out onto as you enjoy the beautiful established gum tree and listen to the birds. The bathroom comprises a fully restored circa 1900 built in cast iron bath that is deep and long to allow you to have a relaxing soak. The shower, with monsoon shower head, is over the bath. The shower screen installed allows a panel to easily fold back if wanting to bathe children. The vanity comprises soft closing draws with composite stone benchtop, and the toilet is located directly inside the sliding bathroom door. The laundry provides a deep laundry sink looking out to the entertainment area and room for washing machine and dryer. There is also a large amount of additional built in storage here also. The laundry leads into the additional powder room which comprises toilet and delightful custom designed vanity. The back outdoor entertaining area spans the entire width of the house and is mostly 4m wide. Fully covered, it provides an all-weather chill-out zone, BBQ area and place for friends to spend time. This area is limited only by your imagination and styling. A concrete path then leads through the garden, past a large Hills Hoist clothesline to the rear of the property where there are currently three vegetable and herb gardens. The rear garage is entered via the back area of the garden, with vehicle access easily gained by opening the large side gate. Perfectly situated to be only 800m from the sort after St Philips Christian College, 1km from Waratah Village (which hosts Coles, KMart, Post Office, Chemist, Bakery, Bank, Take Away outlets, etc), approx 1.2km to the Mater Hospital, approx 3km from the main Callaghan Campus of The University of Newcastle, 4.6km to John Hunter Hospital (the Hunter's largest premiere hospital), 4.6km in a different direction to Newcastle CBD and approximately 6.8km to the famous Nobbys Beach and Newcastle's pristine surf beaches and sandy shores. This beautiful home is looking for the astute buyer who values character and charm, quality, peace of mind, storage both inside and out and is looking for that emotional feeling that says "Yes, this is the one"!
