Cooks Hill NSW 2300

With a convenient location, functional layout and private backyard, this family home in sought-after Cooks Hill is an excellent lifestyle choice. An upper level extension has added valuable floorspace, with the property now offering four bedrooms as well as two generous living spaces. The Master bedroom features a colourful stained glass bay window and the two upstairs bedrooms have handy built-in desks. Some of the charming period features have been respected, with original floorboards, a fireplace and ornate cornices complemented by the updated features of this home. The light-filled airconditioned lounge room flows through to a spacious kitchen that is functional with lots of storage but could also be modernised to suit your own style. The bright and airy dining/living room at the back of the house opens onto the timber deck with built-in bench seating and views of the surrounding garden.

The north west rear aspect allows natural light to filter into the garden throughout the day, and the kids will love running around on the grass or riding scooters up and down the long driveway. An oversized double garage opens onto a productive raised herb garden and there is plenty of room for a home workshop or gym equipment.

The location of this home is what truly makes it a rare gem. With Centennial Park, the restaurants and cafes on Darby Street, and Marketown shopping centre all a short stroll away, you can leave the car at home and enjoy the best of Newcastle in your local neighbourhood.
