Entering 120 Chatham St through a beautiful white gate, the picture perfect front garden sets the tone for this enchanting 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage. Situated on a large block and oriented to the north, it is ideally positioned for privacy, convenience and aspect. Thoughtfully updated to meet the demands of today's lifestyle, the eat-in kitchen is a hub, designed to bring busy families together after the pressures of the day. Equipped with state-of-the-art Smeg and Bosch appliances and abundant storage, it flows out to a brilliant undercover seating/dining area with pull-down blinds, enabling all weather use. There are three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own unique character, plantation shutters on traditional windows and built in robes. A large study adjacent to the kitchen could easily be used as a fourth bedroom. The spacious central living room, separated from the kitchen area provides a quiet sanctuary, with ornate fireplace and ceiling work. Original period fixtures and finishes create a warm and inviting atmosphere, making each room feel homely and loved. Both bathrooms have been elegantly renovated within the last 12 months, offering both luxury and convenience – the second bathroom is a substantial space and doubles as the laundry with direct and convenient access to the backyard which is an oasis of established plantings and meanders to the large one bay garage and double gate access to Chatham Street. * Polished timber floorboards throughout * Large, modern eat in kitchen with high-end appliances * Split system air-conditioning in lounge room and kitchen * Classic period features and character combined with modern functionality * Fully fenced and well established grounds creating a low maintenance garden * Outdoor entertaining area suitable for all weather use * 3 mins drive to Beaumont St, 10 mins to Merewether, Bar Beach & Newcastle * Ideally zoned for quality local schools Adamstown PS & Kotara High School * 150m to Merewether High Selective School
