'WELCOME TO CARRINGTON'
Originally, Carrington was an area underwater at high tide. It was slowly built up by ships dumping ballast, as well as other reclamation work, and eventually became an island growing out of the mud.
Today, Carrington, located 4.4km northwest of Newcastle's central business district, is a mix of residential, commercial and industrial development that is physically separated from other suburbs. It is close to the harbour and CBD, services the Port, and is accessible by Cowper Street bridge over Throsby Creek. Originally subdivided in 1867 Carrington is characterised by tree lined streets, character-filled heritage homes, historic civic buildings, and new developments, capitalising on the government funded Honeysuckle waterfrontage development of Throsby Creek.
'3 SCOTT STREET'
This semi detached terrace represents a tremendous opportunity for the buyer looking for a larger than average home at an entry level price in this sought after harbourside suburb. It is set on a leafy block with generous side access to the backyard, located in a quiet street.
Highlights include two big upstairs bedrooms, eat-in kitchen and structural improvements that provide a separate oversize lounge and dining room. Ornate period details which add to this home's charm include high ceilings throughout, polished timber floor boards, a brick fireplace plus exposed brick walls.
Improvements have made this home ready to move into or rent out, but it has enough scope for the homeowner with a passion to make their own mark.
A free standing shed with its own covered pergola provides ideal outdoor entertaining on rustic recycled brick pavers under a leafy canopy, while indoor entertaining will be a delight in front of the open fire.
Short walk to transport, Carrington Public School, cafes, parks and the beautiful Newcastle Harbour and foreshore. A rare chance to fulfil your Carrington dreams! Pest and building reports available on request

'THE RENEW NEWCASTLE MOVEMENT'
'One of the most exciting stories in Newcastle in recent years has been the success and achievements of 'Renew Newcastle'. What started as an off-beat idea to revitalise Hunter Street has gained international recognition and is being applied in many other cities. Enabling creative individuals and groups to work together has been shown to be an effective and successful strategy to deal with the problems of decaying business centres and surrounding suburbs in modern cities.' (Newcastle Institute 12 April, 2017)
Carrington is one such suburb, slowly metamorphosing into a vibrant, creative community of diverse, caring, like-minded people of all ages and backgrounds.
