A Fine Vintage
Step into a dream with this circa 1920's period masterpiece set on a brilliant broad suburban block some 970 sqm in area and a classic example of an inter-war California Bungalow. This magnificent residence displays all the features of this style of Architecture. Built using an almost Japanese expression of timber detailing with low pitched roofs and spreading eaves this distinctive style was embraced by Newcastle architects such as F. G. Castleden who designed many of Newcastle's inter-war residences. Whilst it cannot yet be attributed to Castleden it displays many of his recognised design features including the visually prominent large and small gables with exposed roof timbers facing the street, a shady verandah entry with timber posts and eaves, brackets, corrugated iron roof with distinctive rough cast chimney detailing. Inside you will discover four bedrooms with an ensuite off the main, separate study, formal and informal lounge, dining and sitting areas. An original style kitchen and bathroom. High ceilings, open fire places, leadlight windows, fret work and much more. Drive access to a single lock up garage, plus an abundance of under-house storage. The house design expresses a homely unpretentious style derived from the English Arts and Crafts movement that became popular in the United States at the turn of the twentieth century. It's setting, on a massive suburban block with beautiful informal lawns and gardens is true to the style. Situated in this most sought after position and just minutes to all amenities including the John Hunter Hospital. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to restore this timeless beauty, whilst adding your own personal touches and personality.
