Set back from the street, this home is introduced by the spacious frontage and off-street parking. Spotted gum timber floors throughout lead to the extra large, light filled bedrooms for an added luxury of space. The protected and private position of the rear deck and gardens provides a sense of peace and serenity that will allow you to completely switch off and relax, yet it's only 1km to Waratah Shopping Village and a 10-minute drive to town. Inside, the layout makes perfect sense with three bedrooms, the main with a private ensuite and an open plan living and dining area at the rear of the home, featuring a beautiful original fireplace. * Split system air-conditioning in living area, ceiling fans throughout * Spacious and light filled kitchen with 4 burner gas cooktop * Large east facing, private rear deck for relaxing and entertaining * Bathroom with shower and separate outdoor European laundry * Easy stroll to Waratah Public and St Philip's Christian College * 1400m from the Mater hospital, 4km from the University of Newcastle Council Rates: $505 p/qtr Water Rates: $271 p/qtr
