Just one block from the beachfront and a 15-minute walk to the Newcastle ferry and local shopping strip, this three-bedroom weatherboard residence presents an inviting combination of character, comfort, and convenience in a dream lifestyle position. The beauty of this home is that you can move in now and renovate in stages, and for investors, there is a happy long-term tenant keen to stay.

A quintessential double fronted profile behind the home's inviting front verandah gives way to a classically proportioned interior with two bedrooms at the front, a lounge room and third bedroom at its heart, and the kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and a sunroom that's used as the dining room at the rear. High ceilings and timber lined walls add timeless character. A prized north facing backyard brings natural light and cooling summer breezes serve as a reminder of how close you are to the beach. Finally, rear lane access provides fabulous potential for you to rebuild the garage and add extra accommodation, subject to council approval.

A superb first or young family home with scope for a value-adding renovation, the neighbourly community of Stockton awaits. Explore kilometres of beach mere footsteps from your front door, stroll to the local shops, cafes and corner pubs, and delight in the variety of waterside walking tracks including the kid-friendly Stockton Shipwreck Walk.
