Built at the turn of the 20th century in a time where quality and style were hallmarks of construction, this captivating weatherboard home is as pretty as it is functional. Timber lined ceilings, 6" timber floors and two working brick fireplaces add timeless charm and character, while modern updates, sympathetic to the era, provide comfort and practicality. The home is set behind lovely gardens with a north facing verandah to welcome you inside and offering a pleasant spot to enjoy all day sunshine. As is typical of the double-fronted design, a central hallway splits two large bedrooms before flowing into an air-conditioned lounge and adjoining dining room, and into a rustic timber kitchen with gas stove and dishwasher. The third bedroom rests at the rear along with the bathroom, while an external laundry includes a handy second w/c. With a passion for entertaining factored into the intelligently zoned layout, two separate decks offer an abundance of space for utterly private alfresco dining and relaxation. A huge bonus in this street is the secure roller door providing off-street parking for two cars. This irresistible home also excels from a location standpoint, offering outstanding access to a choice of schools, including prized Hamilton South Public, and within level walking distance to Marketown and Newcastle Interchange. The harbour, city and beaches are also easily reached for surfing, swimming, dining and nightlife. * Early 1900s weatherboard cottage with updated Colorbond roof * Freshly painted throughout with 6'' timber floors underfoot * Secure roller door into driveway parking space and auto door single garage * Air-conditioned lounge room with gas heating and access to private side deck * Open plan dining and timber kitchen with Ariston gas stove, dishwasher and fireplace * All 3 bedrooms come with wardrobes, pull-down attic ladder to handy storage * Bathroom with shower over bathtub, second w/c in external laundry * Back door access to rear deck * In catchment for prized Hamilton South Public school, stroll to St Francis Xavier's College and Newcastle High * Newcastle West Business District, Harbour Foreshore and walking paths within 1km * 650m to Beaumont Street, 800m to Newcastle Interchange, 2.3km to Bar Beach Outgoings: Water: $817 pa + usage* Council: $2,180 pa* For more about Thomas head to www.thomashook.com.au (We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
