All four points of the compass are represented – from the North, the sun sits above Fort Scratchley, bathes the second storey balcony in light and shines through into the Master Bedroom. To the East, look across at the Pacific Ocean. Check out harbour happenings to the West and gaze along the coastline to the South. Sounds like it must be an apartment in a high rise? Guess again Ladies and Gentlemen, because this is not only a period terrace house in funky Newcastle East but also (the street name says it all!) a 2 minute stroll and you’ll be on the sand…
Downstairs the front room could be used as a 3rd bedroom or a sitting room/den/office. Walk along the hall into a central living room through to a bright & light kitchen which leads on to a spick & span bathroom and laundry. Outside you find a very private, spacious courtyard with palms and a back gate opening into a clandestine laneway, used only by neighbours to walk the short distance to the beach. Upstairs are the Master and second bedrooms and front balcony, all with fabulous views.
The home – whilst retaining charming original features such as the fireplace, stairs and brass switches – has been carefully and tastefully renovated throughout recently, and boasts stylish carpets, subtle side lighting, dimmable downlights and other attractive light fittings, modern B.I.R.s, under stair storage (note plumbing is available here for potential conversion to Euro-style laundry), impressive cornice work and Roman blinds.
Parking is easy in the street in this part of Newcastle East which is well known for its close knit, fun community. Parks, hip shops and cafes are around the corner and the CBD close by.
There are only a handful of Novocastrian properties with this terrific combination of attributes.
