Auction Location: The Arc, 45 Watt Street Newcastle. A true statement of space and versatility for a growing family, this classic Hamilton East property’s renovated interiors are enriched by features harking back to its Federation era heritage. Gorgeous ornate plaster ceilings, elegant leadlight windows, fretwork and expansive period rooms are among the many original details that will catch your eye while a modern extension – both outwards and up – allows flexibility to configure the layout in a number of ways. Tucked behind a classic brick façade, the comforts and premium finishes keep on coming. Follow the hallway past three double-sized bedrooms – one with adjoining sunroom/study – as well as two bathrooms to a spacious formal lounge room where a gas fireplace gives an added snuggle factor to an already warm and inviting room. At the home’s heart, the contemporary kitchen makes cooking and entertaining a breeze with its stone benches, electric appliances and fully integrated dishwasher. Adding to the sense of space, an extension has created a relaxed family living and dining zone which spills seamlessly out to an alfresco deck and a low maintenance backyard. A driveway runs the full length of the house until it reaches a freestanding double garage allowing off-street parking for a number of vehicles. Crowned by a hugely versatile loft retreat, this large room with abundant built-in storage will catch the eye of teenagers or could be used as a future parents’ escape or guest accommodation.
