One of Islington's signature miner's cottages, this revamped classic offers a private and captivating retreat enhanced by its cosmopolitan inner-city setting. With quality finishes and a free-flowing layout, impeccably renovated interiors have pulled off the delicate balancing act of marrying the old with the new, with high ceilings, wide timber floorboards, and picture rails combining with a bright kitchen, modernly appointed bathrooms and three double bedrooms. French doors open wide to blend the kitchen with a sheltered alfresco area and yard beyond for an outdoor entertaining venue, while the oversized single garage/studio is accessed via a rear lane. The backyard is a true escape from the outside world with an East/West orientation providing morning sun through to the afternoon, with a mixture of birdlife visiting the garden to enjoy the Old Man Banksia, the Paperbark and the Christmas Bush that have been lovingly watered each morning from the dregs of the past owner's teapot.
A crown Jewel of Newcastle's suburbs, Islington offers to perfect blend of historical charm, vibrant culture, and a thriving community spirit. With a myriad of independent boutiques and trendy cafes lining the streets, there's always something new to discover. The communities' passion for creativity is also evident with local markets, an abundance of live music venues and a growing list of breweries that fill the suburb with life. Add to this plenty of amenities including the cheapest fuel in the area, top-notch health services, highly regarded Islington Public School, the TAFE, a sought-after mechanic, and a choice of hairdressers. Bus and train transport are also on the doorstep for an effortless commute into town for the University, beaches and galleries or to go further afield, with Sydney accessible within 2 hours.
