One of a pair of double brick c.1930s semis, thought to be built for managers at Comsteel (now Molycop), a major employer in Waratah since 1918, this character-filled two-bedder offers a lifestyle of comfort, convenience, and exciting future potential. Boasting a prized northeast rear aspect on a surprisingly deep 613.6sqm block, the garden studio with power and plumbing is an unexpected bonus, while the under-utilised side and rear garden provides plenty of room to extend the home, add an alfresco entertaining area, or garaging for multiple vehicles (all subject to council approval).
Original leadlight detailing, ornate fretwork, and timber floors along with an ornamental fireplace and picture rails fill the home with heartwarming charm. Two robed bedrooms rest off the gun-barrel hallway, which flows into the air-conditioned lounge room, updated kitchen and bathroom, large laundry, and rear sunroom with handy storage. The 6m x 6m studio features its own toilet and kitchenette, making it a brilliant, quiet disruption-free space to work from home, or future options for granny flat conversion.
With gentrification of the street in full swing, you will delight in the lifestyle benefits afforded by this super-handy location, that’s little more than 15 minutes from Newcastle city centre and beaches. Nearby Waratah Shopping Village provides everything a household needs in one location. Waratah train station is a 10-minute stroll at the end of the street making the daily commute a breeze, and if you head in the other direction, The Mater Hospital is less than seven minutes away. Residents of Waratah are also spoilt for choice when it comes to quality educational options, with a selection of childcare and primary and high schools along with the highly sought-after St Philip’s Christian College within strolling distance and the University of Newcastle 3km away.
