A gorgeous and private haven in the inner-city, this double fronted weatherboard 3-bedder is brimming with period features yet quality updates and an opening of the floorplan mean it functions as a thoroughly modern home. A row of towering and fragrant magnolia trees provide privacy to the front verandah, although the north facing deck at the side of the home is where you will want to relax or entertain when family and friends drop by. Inside, timber lined ceilings and walls, two ornamental fireplaces and a hallway arch add eye-catching character. Updated kitchen and bathroom/laundry spaces complement the warm and inviting ambience, and a dressing room adjoining the main bedroom offers potential as an ensuite in the future. A single garage and concrete pad offer prized off-street parking for two vehicles – a rare bonus in this urban enclave. The community-minded suburb is bordered by Islington Park and the Throsby Waters cycle path that allows you to walk, jog or ride to Newcastle Harbour, thriving Honeysuckle hub and Newcastle's beaches. Kids can safely walk to the local school, popular for its opportunity classes. To top it off, Praise Joe café and a choice of local shops to explore are just around the corner. - Period single level home on low upkeep 326sqm block bordered by lovely gardens - Three classically proportioned bedrooms all with ceiling fans - Main bedroom with adjoining dressing room and French door access to deck - Open plan living with, ornamental fireplace and gas outlet for heating - Timber-topped kitchen appointed with gas cooktop, dishwasher and double oven - Renovated bathroom with large shower and laundry area - North facing deck for alfresco entertaining and relaxation - Within 3km to Newcastle Interchange, the harbour and city's vibrant west end - Less than 1 min walk to TAFE grounds and local primary school - Bus stop access on your doorstep to the University, John Hunter and Mater Hospitals, Charlestown, city and beaches * This information has been prepared to assist solely in the marketing of this property.
