Last Listing description (September 2023)

There's something magical about this part of Grinsell Street where the homes are placed on exceptionally private large blocks with views of nature at every turn and where colourful birdlife come to say hello. If you want a home with a country feel and all the benefits of city living ? you've come to the right place.

Nestled away from the street in a private enclave, this is a unique split-level home constructed from hardy Western red cedar giving it a certain rustic charm. Inside there is a relaxed ambience with an open plan layout and a verandah that looks out over the bush. Here you will feel as though you're in your very own tree house. A rumpus and fourth bedroom are found on the lower level providing space and flexibility while a breezeway under the home can be utilised as a great workshop area and delivers a ton of valuable storage.

The house has been well maintained although it offers renovation/extension potential (STCA) for those who would like to capitalise on the privacy and tranquillity of this leafy location.

While you could be in the middle of nowhere, this is a hugely convenient location. Zoned for popular New Lambton Public school, it also offers easy access to Blackbutt Reserve, Westfield Kotara, Charlestown Square and the John Hunter Hospital.
