When you sit back on the verandah in your rocking chair with a cool drink in your hand, you will see that this home has been a labour of love for Mr & Mrs Perfection.

The kitchen is harmonious combination of old and new, offering stainless steel appliances and stunning country buffet.

The main bathroom features a claw bath as well as a separate shower.

Double garage with access to the rear and 3rd bathroom.

Set on a corner block, approx 550 sqm, this historic home is just a short distance to the main street of Wallsend.
