Charlestown NSW 2290

Set quietly at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac, with a council-maintained reserve as your closest neighbour, this much-loved home has been held by the same family for more than 45 years and is now ready for its next chapter. It's a place defined by birdsong, green outlooks, and a real sense of calm, where neighbours become friends and privacy comes naturally. The split-level layout suits growing families who want room to move and the comfort of being settled. Charlestown Square is just five minutes away, with Lake Macquarie and Redhead Beach both within an easy 15-minute drive.

Inside, the floorplan is generous and flexible, offering three separate living areas, a central kitchen that anchors daily life, and the convenience of a bedroom and bathroom on the main level. Upstairs, three further bedrooms are tucked away alongside a recently renovated family bathroom with ensuite access from the master. Downstairs, the rumpus is joined by internal access from the double garage and a huge multipurpose space that's perfect as a gym, games zone, kids' retreat, or simply the kind of storage every family dreams of. The outside covered entertainment area in the pergola can be easily accessed from either the Rumpus Room or the Family Room. A north-facing verandah off the family room looks straight onto the reserve, effectively extending your backyard into a green playground you don't have to maintain.

The home is in the catchment area of Charlestown South Primary School, recognised as a leader in the state primary education sector and the respected St Joseph's Primary School. Charlestown South is a feeder school for Whitebridge High School and St Joseph's a feeder school for St Mary's Catholic College. For students wishing to pursue their sporting prowess, Hunter Sports High School is only 10 minutes away.
