10 Carawa Street, Blacksmiths NSW 2281

Every home has something special to offer, but this home has so many special features it will be hard to choose your top 10!

The most obvious is the location, with pristine Blacksmiths Beach at the end of your street, less than 250m away. The surf club is less than 1km away, if you would prefer to swim between the flags and the famous Granny Pool is about 300m past that. The local shops are a level walk from home and include a post office, mechanic, bakery, butcher, hardware store, hairdresser, doctor and chemist!

This is the first time this gem has been offered for sale. The home has been well maintained and tastefully updated, but clever renovators will still see the potential flowing indoor / outdoor living spaces and maybe even a pool.

The 689m2 corner block is fully fenced and has vehicle access from both streets. There's a two-way garage in the corner of the block so each street has a garage to drive into, so there is plenty of available parking. The garage opens on to the covered alfresco area, so no mad dash in the rain to get to the house! The block is zoned R2, low density.

Now, lets get to the jewel in the crown. One quick look at the floorplan and you'll see how much potential there is in this home. Large L-shaped living and the dining space wrap around the modernised kitchen with dishwasher and underbench oven. The bedrooms, on the other side of the home all wrap around the renovated bathroom that features a separate spa bath, shower and toilet.

These two areas meet at the Family/Rumpus room that opens onto the covered outdoor entertaining area - which has a very convenient second shower and toilet in the laundry, close by. The L-shaped living area enjoys a sunny Northerly aspect and the whole home benefits from the cool sea breeze through the oversized windows.

There's three generous bedrooms, all with built-ins, one has private access to a sunny utility room - ideal as a nursery, study or parents' retreat!

Located just 250m from the beach, 1km from gorgeous Swansea Channel which is the entry to stunning Lake Macquarie ... a water lovers paradise
