Beyond the white picket fence, gorgeous landscaped garden and new external cladding and roof, this classic home beautifully blends past and present characteristics. Freshly polished hardwood floors, ornate ceilings and picture rails add charm while the 3-bedroom floorplan subtly flows into modern architecture where a light-filled open plan living space is highlighted by a cathedral ceiling and an island kitchen is an eye-catching centrepiece. A surprising bonus is the huge garage and workshop that tradesmen or car enthusiasts will love. * Beautifully updated single level home on 417sqm block * Rear deck and backyard is immensely private and ideal for relaxation * 3-car garage with workshop, mezzanine and versatility utility space * Caesarstone island kitchen with induction cooktop and dishwasher * Grapevine, avocado and mango trees promise a good yield * Stroll to school, Birdy's and Praise Joe cafés and Islington park * 3km to Newcastle Interchange, the harbour and city's vibrant west end
