This unique property in uber popular Kotara will fire up the imagination of a multitude of buyers with its extensive block, 5 bedrooms, multiple living spaces, flexible floorplan and renovation potential. The options here are truly endless, but this property ideally lends itself to a transformation into a magnificent family home or perhaps even a dual living dwelling.
From the road, this property, with its funky façade, open garage and tropical gardens - that frangipani tree is simply gorgeous - has a distinctly Palm Springs vibe. Imagine a coat of crisp white paint, an update of the interior and a few cosmetic changes and you will find yourself in a stylish and sizeable home in the heart of one of Newcastle's most central and family friendly suburbs. Alternatively, invest in this burgeoning suburb and create two separate properties or a 5-bedroom rental – large homes are in high demand in Newcastle's dynamic rental market.
This property sits in a treelined street just 4 minutes to Westfield Kotara – boasting rooftop dining, cinemas and a huge selection of department and specialty stores and Homeco - which includes hardware, electronics and a range of divine homewares' stores and cafes. 26 Kuranda Crescent is also just 13 minutes from Merewether Beach and Surfhouse and 20 minutes to the Newcastle CBD.
