Auction Location: On Site Auction - 38 Greaves Street, Mayfield East NSW 2304 This gorgeous 3 bedroom cottage has not only one fireplace but two and so many other endearing traditional features! With soaring 12-foot ceilings, wooden floorboards and stained glass windows it has a traditional feel but, if you are up for it, it could be ready for a renovation. If you need a little more space than this cottage currently offers, you'll find the 3rd bed to be smaller than usual however still having the space for a single bed, there is potential to extend into the backyard or even build up a level (subject to council approval) but be sure to keep the beautiful features that give this home its character. Situated in a surprisingly quiet street, given its central location, this property has the quaint features of a traditional Newcastle home – awnings on the front windows peeping at you through the gorgeous crepe myrtle tree in the front yard and tongue and groove walls. At the same time the 3 bedroom house with bathroom and second toilet allows much opportunity for expansion and improvement and you could lovingly coax it into the modern era with a cosmetic or more in-depth renovation. This lovely cottage is situated right on the border of Mayfield East and the gentrified but still groovy Tighes Hill, Islington and is of course just minutes Hamilton with it's huge array of fabulous restaurants, retro and designer boutiques and cafes. When it comes to your daily caffeine hit t is really just down to which awesome coffee shop will become your local – perhaps Praise Joe or maybe Equium. You are just a 9 minute drive to the heart of the city and the huge range of galleries, theatres and dining establishments. Taste Brazilian, Japanese, Korean or Spanish, finish up in a cool cocktail bar and take a $10 Uber ride home! And you have to check out the new Earp Brother Distillery and restaurant down the road.
