Description: Dawson street holds the residential record sale price for Cooks Hill and there is no wonder why, this home offers a great entry point into the area. The tree lined, wide street is filled with charming homes and offers enviable proximity to Darby street's Cafe's, art galleries and Newcastle's prime beaches. Beautiful Centennial Park is also just 100m away.
This property not only has further renovation potential, but also has a current DA approval for a fantastic extension an upstairs loft conversion to the huge garage at rear. This is sure to add value beyond the investment required to complete the work.
The two bedroom gun-barrel style home has been updated and well maintained, though is oozing with potential. It features a careful blend of traditional features with modern comforts. Both bedrooms are of good proportions and feature quality carpet. The front bedroom has built-in robe and ceiling fan, while the other bedroom has original ornamental fireplace, as well as a handy pull-down ladder/stairs to loft storage above.
There are polished hardwood timber floors along the hallway and lounge room, which has slow combustion fire built in to the original fire place cavity. The lounge room also has a ceiling fan. Step down to the tiled meal and kitchen area. The walk-through timber kitchen is tidy and has a freestanding gas cooker. The combined bathroom and laundry is functional and is located at the rear of the home. There is another area ideal for a study adjacent to the kitchen - a lovely spot to sit and look out the glass sliding doors to your entertaining deck and secure back yard.
The private, low-maintenance back yard is fully fenced and is separated into two sections. There is a very large double garage at the rear of the yard. This garage is accessed by a long driveway (shared access).
This property is also rich in history, being the home of one of only two female taxi drivers in 1902. Some historical information is available via our office. (back then cabs were horse and cart!)
If you have been watching Cooks Hill, you would be aware opportunities don't come up like this very often. It is worth inspecting this property and getting prepared to snap this one up.
