This character-rich 3 bedroom property in booming Mayfield would be an excellent first foray into home ownership. Just 15 mins from the CBD and Newcastle's beautiful beaches, Mayfield is truly coming into its own and this house presents a wonderful opportunity to get your foot in the door of this market, close to quality schools, retail and dining. If you wanted to spend a little time and energy to modernise this home you would create a beauty. There are already so many gorgeous features from high ceilings to truly unique, ornate wall panelling in the hall and lounge and the beautiful original tiled fireplace. The 3 bedrooms feature original double-hung windows, wood panelling on ceilings and several statement light fixtures that add even more charm to the home. Choose a modern new palette for the exterior or stick with the traditional colours of hunter green, maroon and cream, do a quick cosmetic update on the bathroom and kitchen, perhaps extend the back verandah and you will have a stunning family home on your hands. As well as being laden with character this home is in a truly central location – just 15 mins from the city, beaches and some of Newcastle's most popular suburbs. Once the reno is over – or if you just need a break – grab a coffee from one of Mayfield's funky cafes. Perhaps a macchiato from Zaabi with its Middle Eastern and Greek influences or the iconic Equium Social.
