Historic home with heart
For those with a little imagination and a love of historic homes this property is a truly incredible find. Laden with beautiful heritage features and positioned in the heart of rapidly gentrifying Mayfield, this property would be simply divine if coaxed back to its original, grand elegance by owners who can see the beauty within.
This property boasts an abundance of heritage features including incredibly intricate cornices, picture rails, high ceilings and the most impossibly ornate ceiling rose right in the heart of the kitchen. Imagine sipping your morning latte or an aperol spritz in the afternoon on the large, private front balcony off the master bedroom – another charming feature reminiscent of the era. The federation style bathroom has octagon pattern tiles, a pedestal vanity in the style of the period and a built-in tub. The modern kitchen opens onto the open planning living are and this home retains the quintessential formal dining room as well. The level backyard is framed by prepared garden beds – a blank canvas for you.
Situated in Mayfield but on the border of popular Hamilton North and funky Islington this home gives you a myriad choices when it comes to your local espresso haunt, dining options and nightlife. Stop in at Praise Joe on the way to work for the most divine bakery treats and an espresso. Wander 13 minutes down the road on a lazy Sunday to the iconic Equium Social for kimchi pancakes or a prosciutto tartine. Dining options are endless in this corner of Newcastle whether you are in the mood for eclectic Asian, contemporary Australian or traditional pub grub. All of this is also just minutes from some of Newcastle's most respected schools,10 mins from the CBD and less than 15 minutes to Newcastle's stunning beaches.
