53 Alexander Parade, Charlestown NSW 2290

A quality build, plenty of retro character, and an abundance of space are the defining features of this two-storey home, which also captures an ocean view from the upper level.

Designed with a growing household in mind, the perceptive buyer will see nothing but opportunity in the interiors. Instantly liveable while offering unbelievable scope for modern transformation, there are four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a large upper-level living zone, and an enormous ground-floor rumpus with built-in bar and fireplace. Adding further weight is an address of lifestyle perfection. This neighbourly pocket is hugely popular thanks to its proximity to pristine beaches, Fernleigh Track, Lake Macquarie and Charlestown Square – the region's largest shopping centre.
