Auction Location: On Location - 29 Boscawen Street, Wallsend NSW 2287.
A beautiful period gem, 'Parkview Terrace' sits directly opposite the green expanse of Federal Park an easy stroll to Wallsend town centre. Combining the elegance of a Victorian terrace facade with a heritage architect's sympathetic renovation, and an extension that opens up the design for practical, modern living, the property is large enough for families but also ideal for those wishing to take advantage of the R3 zoning to combine home and business use.
Two flourishing olive trees, a stately heritage-coloured façade, and sandstone steps provide a fitting front yard for this nineteenth century property, while a brick chimney stack and
a filigree iron balustrade on the upper balcony completes its classic kerb appeal. Inside, the home has undergone a sympathetic renovation with an interior design that seamlessly blends period features with contemporary style.
The terrace has a luxurious yet homely feel that is both warm and inviting with an elegant ensemble of timber floors, plush Axminster carpet, Velux skylights, etched glass doors, timber lined ceilings and walls, and gas fires in original timber surrounds. A ground floor bedroom fitted with split system a/c and bookcases offers versatility as an office for those still working from home, while the remaining trio of bedrooms rest in a zone of their own along with the family bathroom upstairs.
The lounge room is a delightful spot for the family to come together in winter with an adjoining sitting room/study or fifth bedroom opening to a private north facing verandah. At the home's heart, shaker style cabinetry, a butler sink, and Ilve gas range have been used to create an elegant kitchen ideally suited to a home of this era while still featuring contemporary fittings and fixtures. A large dining space opposite the kitchen is ideal for entertaining with enough room to accommodate a large table, while the open plan layout also flows through to a spacious family room. Bi-fold doors open to the landscaped backyard allowing you to take living and entertaining outdoors to a covered alfresco. A versatile studio provides another space, which could be used as a teen retreat or home office.
Wallsend will soon be home to a new $1.5 million Active Hub that will transform Federal Park into a vibrant hive of active recreation opportunities. With a new playspace featuring equipment for a variety of ages, pump track for bikes, scooters and skateboards, multi-sports courts allowing for basketball and futsal, rebound wall, climbing wall and fitness stations, Wallsend Active Hub is set to transform the Western Corridor's active recreation scene.
