Legend has it, that this fine property was originally built by a local newspaper baron in 1910. Over the last 100 years it has been owned by the church and in more recent times was occupied by an antiques dealer.
Today it proudly sits as one of Waratahs few remaining original classics. This is a charming house that is difficult not to fall in love with from the minute you walk through the private front entrance. With wide wraparound balconies on 3 sides it has an air of yesteryear which is impossible to re-create.
Inside the property you will find 3 very large bedrooms, spacious living area and modernised facilities that do not compromise its period elegance. Significant features include high pressed metal ceilings, wide timber floorboards, iron fretwork and original fireplaces.
The house flows freely into an open planned kitchen/living space at the rear of the property. This spills through multiple French doors on a private deck and separate entertaining area. Through a side entrance is a double garage with remote control access.
This home is extremely private. Live here and you wont believe how close you are to all of Waratahs amenities. With the shops, train station, 4 schools and Mater hospital all within 1 km this property will suit owner-occupiers and investors alike.
Waratah is located within an easy 15 minute drive to Newcastle CBD and beautiful beaches. For those who dont know the area it is also within easy reach to the University, situated just 2.5kms away.
