19 Robert Street

Wickham NSW 2293

One of a pair of beautiful weatherboard homes built side-by-side by brothers in 1904, this character-filled gem is a true haven in the inner-city. Still held by a member of the same family today, original hallmark features of 11ft timber lined ceilings, dado boards, pine floors, and two ornamental fireplaces have been lovingly retained, while the home has been modernised for today's busy lifestyle.

The double fronted home stands out on Robert Street with its eye-catching blue faade, maintenance free- picket fence, and welcoming front verandah, while its corner block position gifts off-street parking via Railway Street. Inside the residence you will instantly feel the love and care that it has received over the years it truly evokes an aura of warmth and welcome. The classic layout has two of the three bedrooms resting off the central hallway, with the lounge room and third bedroom at its heart, and the dining room and renovated kitchen, bathroom, and laundry at the rear. Step out onto the deck and palm-fringed courtyard and driveway where you can dine, relax or entertain in privacy against a backdrop of northeasterly light and sunshine.

With at least six cafes, restaurants, a choice of corner pubs, Newcastle yacht club, the transport interchange and the Throsby bike path all close by, locations hardly come any better.
