Put a 'California Bungalow' home on a corner block in Merewether and you just know you can expect to be nothing but satisfied, and that is exactly what you will be with this 3-bedroom, weatherboard with roughcast detail, historic delight. Click the picket fence gate behind you and ?Rose Cottage? beckons you along her path, past the cottage garden and rose bed, across the veranda threshold, and through the door.

Seamlessly moving from entry into the lounge room that comes complete with special details of architectural design from this original time period. The open fireplace with carved mantle surround adds warmth and character echoes the angles of the full-length recessed Bay window. Each of the 3 bedrooms have built in robes and ceiling fans and are close by the family bathroom. The laundry is euro style which makes clever use of all the valuable storage space provided. The kitchen/dining is open and spacious and generously lit by the large skylight above and highlights a cheeky wine rack sunken into the wall.

Then comes the ?tah dah? moment... as the room opens up to reveal a conservatory style living area with raked celling, exposed rafters and wrap around French doors and windows, allowing precious sunlight bouncing off the inground pool to stream in, sending sparkling water reflections to dance on the ceiling, giving even more natural light to this picturesque scene and it isn't over yet! Just off the kitchen is an inviting undercover and heated outdoor entertaining area leading down to the pool and immaculately manicured and maintained garden and yard.

This prized location sees you surrounded by boundless opportunities to shop, exercise, beach it, try all the cafes and personally review all the restaurants. Plus, numerous schools and public transport all within metres and or minutes. And with Newcastle CBD also close by.
