The sun shines into the dining room through stained glass windows, which is decorated with custom architraves. Adjacent, the kitchen features intricate hand-made Hoop Pine cabinetry, an induction cook top, and integrated dishwasher. The family room then soars 6 meters high to a raked cedar ceiling with expansive cathedral windows which let in both the sun and moon light.
This property includes a spacious work-from-home office and/or a space to welcome clients. The fully enclosed sunroom is versatile in that it can be used as a home gym, children's playroom or a peaceful place for long family lunches in the Winter months. There is also a study with carpeted stairs leading up to a charming attic bedroom, which can also function as a teenage retreat.
The rear garden has several entertainment areas, including spaces that are paved, grassy, undercover, in full sun, or cool under shady trees. There is a cubby house which children love, but alternatively can be used as a quiet place to meditate or practise yoga. Landscaping and gardens are a feature of this property. There is extensive use of bush rock, heritage brick, and wood.
Located within walking distance to Charlestown Square and Charlestown's swim centre, library, skate park, and medical centres, living here is especially convenient. At the end of the street is St. Joseph's Primary School. Charlestown Public School is a 5-minute walk down the street and across Attunga park (play equipment + open grass). Newcastle's wonderful beaches, including Dudley, Redhead and Merewether are a short drive away. Also easily accessible are Flaggy Creek, The Great North Walk, and Glenrock Lagoon.
If you are mindful of the environment, cost of living and still like being near all the facilities, this is the home for you
