This character-rich home is the opportunity you have been looking for to settle in the beautiful community of Boolaroo with its golden age movie cinema, quirky cafes, stores, train and bus stops- check out the funky Hippy Java and the Honey Emporium - friendly neighbours and, of course, its idyllic location – just 2 minute drive to the shores of Lake Macquarie. This gorgeous home has a rich history, having been relocated to Boolaroo from Maitland in 2013. After it was settled in its new location, on its solid new foundations, everything but the frame of the original home was updated – electrical wiring, plumbing, windows, doors, gyprock - you name it – all brand new. The custom hardwood floors were pieced together with great care, the layout was updated to include an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and design details including 4 step cornices, high ceilings, picture rails and loft storage complete with ladder access were all added. Picture yourself in the morning taking time to linger over your coffee on the front porch perched on a comfy couch or sipping a chardonnay in the afternoon as the sun sinks low. When friends come to visit or the family drops by the back verandah is the perfect place to while away the hours. Weekends are made for the water. Jump in the car and be at the lake in literally 2 minutes – tow the boat or bring the stand-up paddle board or kayaks for the kids. Then head home to freshen up and complete the day with dinner at the iconic Pippis as the sun sinks over the lake. This lifestyle is just bliss and it could be yours – no need to decide between sweet country town or life by the lake.
