Perfect for a family or as an investment, and right in the heart of the city fringe. This Californian Bungalow has been lovingly renovated, retaining the original character features such as the ornate ceilings, original coal fireplace, and Art Deco fixtures, while creating large family spaces through clever design. The family will fit comfortably, with the home supporting three bedrooms inside the main house, all away from the kitchen and family areas. The main bedroom features a secluded and private front porch overlooking the garden. A separate spacious teenage retreat (or office) is attached to the back family area, accessed via the beautiful back deck and pergola. The living and entertainment areas have been maximised with an open-plan layout featuring the family lounge, dining, and kitchen. The large back deck and pergola, perfect for entertaining, is visible through the north-facing double glass sliding doors that allow maximum light into the living areas. The deck wraps around the spacious Teenage Retreat (or home office), creating a beautiful secluded outdoor setting fringed by a small backyard forest. This home is very close to everything you need, with the beaches and Newcastle CBD only 7km away, the shopping centre district a short 1km, the University just 2.5 km, and the train station a short 8 min walk from your front door.
