Set among a string of early 20th Century properties, this delightfully restored worker's cottage in inner-city Wickham, is a sailor's minute from the Newcastle Marina and Harbour precinct, and a swift 15-minute cycle to central Newcastle. The weatherboard and brick construction has been freshly painted inside and out in soft neutral shades and presents as classically light and airy, with original sash windows, updated fittings, and French doors leading from the sun-drenched family room to the private north-facing garden.

Currently configured as 2 spacious carpeted bedrooms plus sunroom/study off the formal lounge, you may wish to convert the air-conditioned loungeroom into a 3rd bedroom. The open plan dining/family room adjoins a thoughtfully-appointed contemporary kitchen, featuring a large island bench, glass splashback, soft close drawers, and loads of storage. Kitchen appliances have been recently updated and include 900mm oven and 6-burner gas cooktop, Samsung fridge, dishwasher and microwave. The light-filled bathroom has been recently renovated and features stylish marbled floor to ceiling tiles and a euro laundry.

Sitting pretty in the hub of the action, this charming home is within easy reach of everything, including popular schools, established parklands and the Wickham Interchange for easy access to train and tram lines. Islington Park, popular with walkers and dog owners and the ovals and sporting fields of Wickham Park are a stone's throw away and a plethora of local restaurants and cafes in the adjacent villages of Maryville, Tighes Hill, and Islington are all within walking distance.
