Some homes wear their history proudly, and 86 Melbourne Street is one of them. This solid double brick and iron semi-detached home sits behind the classic timber-fretwork on the verandah and corrugated roofline giving it a street presence that new builds simply can’t match and behind that character frontage is a floorplan built for real, everyday family living.
The home offer formal and informal living spaces, a freestanding wood fireplace anchors the front living space, while reverse-cycle air conditioning keeps things comfortable no matter the season. It’s the kind of home where the bones do the talking. The rear living spaces offers loads of natural light and perfectly positioned over looking the back yard.
Three good-sized bedrooms (all around 3.6m x 3.6m) sit alongside a light-filled living area and a separate dining room, giving everyone their own space without losing the connection that makes a house a home. The kitchen is functional and ready for its next family to make it their own, with a separate laundry keeping day-to-day life organised.
Beyond the home, a generous 8.0m x 6.0m carport / covered entertaining area opens onto rear lane access. a seldom seen benefit of the area and a genuinely valuable feature that means easy, private parking and effortless come-and-go for trailers or a boat, without ever touching the front street.
Tucked into a quiet Abermain pocket, this address puts the essentials on your doorstep. An easy walk to the local primary school, doctors and the Abermain Hotel. With the Kurri Kurri’s shops and services, and the Hunter Expressway all just minutes away. Cessnock CBD and the Hunter Valley’s wine country are a short drive further out, making this a genuinely central base for work, school runs and weekends alike.
