Double fronted character home merges charming period elements with luxe modern style in one of the hottest suburbs in Newcastle. The traditional front porch speaks of the home's heritage and original accents are glimpsed throughout with soaring ceilings, painted paneled walls and polished floorboards, while modern renovations have taken this home to a new level of sophistication. The 3 bedrooms feature towering built-ins reaching to the ceiling, and the master has its own ensuite. A lovely warm colour scheme flows through to a formal dining room, before stepping into the true heart of this home – the architecturally unique kitchen and lounge with raked ceiling with exposed beams. The space is completely open and welcoming – you'll want to spend all your time in this gorgeous kitchen or nestled up on the lounge in front of the cosy freestanding wood fireplace. A trendy take on a country-cottage-like style makes this space effortlessly cool, with stone benchtops, a large island bench with seating, and stainless steel appliances including a generous 5-burner gas oven and large feature rangehood, not to mention an enormous walk-in pantry. Entertain alfresco on the covered back deck lined with string lights, with panels providing privacy and shelter from the weather. The double garage also has a covered double carport in front and a long grass driveway with further off-street parking. There is a lot of potential for this area, of course you can use it for cars, trailer, etc, or it makes a great workshop, gym, or hobby space and the concreted carport area makes a great additional outdoor entertaining area if you're planning a crowd.
