Behind its bold red gate and matching front door, this classic gun-barrel cottage oozes personality and heart. The kind of place that instantly wraps you up in a sense of "home," it blends timeless charm with thoughtful modern updates right where you want them. Just 250m to Carrington's peaceful waterfront reserve and steps to the local school, shops, and cafés and shops on Young Street, this home nails character and convenience in equal measure.
Inside, the period details shine from the cedar-lined ceilings, dado boards, a hallway arch, and two ornamental fireplaces, one an elegant ornamental gas fireplace, the other a log fire that sets the tone for winter evenings in. The practical floorplan keeps things easy, with two bedrooms up front, a welcoming lounge and sitting room, a full-size bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and an open-plan dining and kitchen zone that spills out to a north-facing deck and private courtyard - ideal for relaxed alfresco entertaining or morning coffees in the sun. And for those who need a little extra space, a pull-down ladder in bedroom number two leads to a generous attic - perfect for storage or even a future conversion (STCA).
Step out your front door, and you're almost instantly connected to a scenic walking and cycling path that leads straight to Nobbys Beach. Along the way, grab a coffee at the Boatshed Café, enjoy waterfront dining at Newcastle Yacht Club, or explore the vibrant bars and restaurants at Honeysuckle. Your pup will love the nearby off-leash park, and for water lovers, paddleboarding or joining the Newcastle Rowing Club is just a short stroll away.
