17 Chalmers Road, Wallsend NSW 2287

Charming Californian Bungalow with modern extension successfully creating contemporary living space without compromising on art deco architectural details that initially enticed the current owners. Slightly elevated and positioned a short walk to shops, schools & parks with established gardens effecting a privacy buffer front and back. Modern additions include ducted air conditioning throughout and thoughtfully designed open plan living/dining space opening onto an expansive covered deck with views over spa and gardens.

Proportions are generous from entry with polished floorboards, original leadlight accents and three metre height ceilings adorned with decorative panels, picture rails and light fixtures. Period style continues into the three spacious bedrooms, all including built-in-robes while the master features quaint French doors opening out to a private balcony.

From the entry hall, past the bedrooms and one of the two bathrooms, connecting old with new, is a delightful sitting room/study where the original fireplace has been updated for easier use while retaining character and ambience in its detailed brickwork facade.

The extension begins as you make your way through barn doors into the heart of the home, an open plan living/dining area with 3 mtr ceiling height carried through. The spacious kitchen is designed to entertain with commercial cooktop, canopy rangehood, dishwasher, vast bench space and breakfast bar. Tiled kitchen floors adjoin luxurious loop pile carpet in this contemporary addition where shared experiences & comfort are the focus. Indicative of build quality, the roof was redone at the time of renovation to encompass the entire dwelling, including back deck, and create a seamless visual finish. In this space you will find the second bathroom offering shower over full sized bath, vanity and toilet and the large internal laundry.

Glass sliding doors stretch the back wall length and open to an elevated, east facing 8.5 metre deck with side return. Enjoy views over the outdoor spa, fully fenced yard & established trees, including citrus and fig, for the budding gardener.

A single lock up garage sits at the end of the long driveway on this 778m2, R3 zoned, block. Yard size offers enough space for a 7 metre width new build if desired, whether that be a double garage or second dwelling for that passive income (STNCC). With the house on piers there is underhouse access.
