Immersed in history and rich in charm, the classic Victorian home exudes all the grandeur you would expect from the architecturally elegant period of the 1880's. Solidly built of cavity brick construction this home reveals all the charming features of this era including 4 cast iron fireplaces in perfect working order, intricately ornate 12ft ceilings, deep cornices, glossy Cowrie floorboards, exquisite hallway arches and sunny wrap-around verandah. Resting on a park-like 857sqm with rear lane access and a cycle way on its doorstep it provides a relaxed lifestyle with all the benefits of modern day living.
Radiating off a wide, formal hallway are four genuinely double sized bedrooms, all featuring fireplaces, one with built in robes and the master enjoying reverse cycle air conditioning. Each of these rooms are interchangeable and could be utilised as living/family areas or an enviable home office. A lovely air conditioned extension has been made to the rear of the home and combines a family sized dining room with a gorgeous French provincial kitchen, boasting quality stainless steel appliances, slate stone flooring and exposed brick walls. Completing the inviting floorplan is liberally sized lounge room, reminiscent of an English manors drawing room, a well-appointed bathroom plus a second bathroom with generous built in robe housed in the laundry. French doors seamlessly link the kitchen with the covered outdoor alfresco area that flaunts its own gas cooktop, kitchen and dining space, ideal for the avid entertainer. Further highlights of the yard include a free standing studio, rustic outdoor sink, two garden sheds, double carport, easycare gardens and direct access to the cycle way.
Delivering modern convenience matched with all the hallmarks of a bygone era, this home is located 15 minutes from Newcastle and its iconic beaches and only moment away from schools, Wallsend's shopping village and enjoys transport on its doorstep.
