Last Listing description (September 2026)

Offered to the market for the first time ever in almost 100 years, "White Lodge" is more than just a home - it's a remarkable piece of Cardiff's history.
Lovingly held by the same family for five generations, this character-filled residence, believed to have been built in the late 1920s to early 1930s, is one of Cardiff's original homes and is ready for its next chapter.
Set on an enormous 1,210sqm parcel of land with an impressive 16-metre frontage and approximately 76 metres in depth, opportunities of this size and significance are becoming increasingly rare.

Perhaps the most exciting feature is the endless potential on offer.
As the home is not heritage listed, the choice is entirely yours.
Will you restore and re-imagine this historic residence, blending its timeless character with contemporary living?
Or will you unlock the potential of this substantial landholding and explore redevelopment opportunities (Subject to Council Approval)?
Whichever path you choose, this is an opportunity that rarely presents itself.

Stepping inside, you're welcomed by a charming enclosed front sun-room before entering the elegant lounge room, where soaring high ceilings and a stunning marble fireplace immediately capture your attention.
It's easy to imagine the countless family gatherings and treasured memories created here over the past century.

The home offers two generously proportioned bedrooms, with the main bedroom showcasing beautiful ornate cornices and a charming dressing or sitting area that reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
The spacious timber kitchen provides an abundance of cupboard and bench space and includes a casual meals area, making it both functional and inviting.
At the rear of the home, the updated bathroom and laundry offer modern convenience, with the bathroom featuring a large shower, vanity and toilet.

Step outside and take in the elevated outlook across Cardiff towards Munibung Hill - a peaceful backdrop that further enhances the property's appeal.

Whether you're a visionary renovator with a passion for preserving character homes or a developer seeking a substantial parcel of land in a central location (STCA), "White Lodge" presents an exceptional opportunity to create something truly special.

Conveniently positioned just minutes from Cardiff Train Station, bus transport, Cardiff's shopping precinct, cafs, the Iron Horse Tavern, local schools, childcare facilities, sporting fields and parks, you'll also enjoy easy access to Westfield Kotara, Charlestown Square, Glendale Shopping Centre and the beautiful shores of Lake Macquarie.
Major arterial roads are nearby, making commuting throughout Newcastle and the Hunter Region effortless.

Properties with this combination of history, land size, flexibility and location are exceptionally rare.

The question is... what will you do? Restore a piece of history, or create something entirely new? The opportunity is yours to seize.
