This circa 1915, double brick, Californian Bungalow is set on a large (597m2) block just a short stroll to shops and ferry wharf.

Natural timber features extensively throughout the home; timbers such as Oregon, cedar, 100 year old Baltic pine and cypress pine floors.

There are three large bedrooms, a formal lounge room and quite large family/dining room. The kitchen cupboards, benches and pantry have been hand crafted using 100 year old Baltic pine and re-cycled Oregon, giving this room quite an earthy, outback feel to it.

The home is solar powered and passively cooled. With excess energy being sold back to the grid, this is a regular source of income which will only increase when the feed-in tariff is introduced in NSW.

Flooring has been installed in the ceiling joists, with the anticipation of placing an attic that would potentially give you some views to the sea. It would suit installation of Dormer windows and sky-lighting.

Outdoors is an organic paradise for gardeners. The garden produces such an extensive variety of vegetables, fruit and herbs that these home owners are self sufficient in fruit and vegetables all year round. You can enjoy a semi-rural independent lifestyle but with all the conveniences of a big city, and the pleasure of a 35km beach and the Hunter river.

The gardens are supported by a spear point which provides the best ground water in Stockton. This supplies a free source of high quality water through an extensive irrigation system.

There is a large teenage retreat/studio looking onto the gardens in addition to an atrium perfect for a warm winter study or propagation of seedlings. There is convenient access from the wide rear lane to the large garage and workshop.
Situated within a five minute walk to the beach (being just one street back), and quite handy to the Bowling Club, football/cricket grounds and shops, it is ideal.
Regular ferry access is available to the Newcastle CBD and city rail link; hence there is no real need for a car.

If you are looking for that elusive dream of a self sustaining lifestyle .. Then you may have found it here.
