Price Guide $850,000

Some buyers see a home for what it is today. Others walk through the door and immediately see what it could become.

Betty is for the second kind… the dreamer, the creator, the enthusiast.

An 827m² corner block, a renovator with a vision and Betty about to get the makeover she deserves.

Betty might have a few wrinkles, some gyprock cracking to address and interiors ready for a little Botox but she's got all the ingredients for one impressive transformation. She's sitting on the kind of block buyers keep asking for.

Granny flat potential? You asked for it and now, I've delivered her. (STCA)

There's More to Betty Than Meets the Eye:
Step inside and you may be surprised by just how much space there is. Offering four bedrooms, or three plus a study, nursery, playroom or games room, there's flexibility here for families at different stages of life. Three of the bedrooms are spacious, with a large skylight adding something a little different to one. There's a separate lounge and dining room, two bathrooms and a good sized kitchen with dishwasher.

And when winter rolls around, the freestanding wood burning fireplace sets the scene for cold nights spent curled up on the couch with some classics… perhaps The Golden Girls.

Need extra storage? Take the stairs into the ceiling space, where a pull system makes storing the Christmas decorations and all those "I might need that one day" items that little bit easier to hide away.
And when the in-laws announce they're staying for a week… you'll know where to go.

The Colourbond roof was updated approximately 10 years ago, while outside you'll find easy parking both on and off street, plus existing double garage.

Property Highlights
• 4 bedrooms, high ceilings & freestanding wood burning fireplace
• 827m² corner block with granny flat potential (STCA)
• Extra ceiling storage with stair access
• Easy off street parking & existing double garage
• Close to Wallsend shops & a nearby park
• Close to the University of Newcastle

You've Saved Your Pennies. Now It's Time to Think about the future growth in your investment.

If you've outgrown your current home and you're craving more space, Betty could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.

She might not have the shiny new kitchen or picture perfect interiors just yet, but that's where you come in.

Get the space now. Make it yours over time.

Renovate one room, then the next. Create the kitchen you've always wanted when the budget allows. Put your own stamp on Betty as your family, style and budget grow. Because sometimes upsizing isn't about buying someone else's finished dream.

For the renovator or flipper, take what's already here and imagine what you could create.

For the investor or extended family, look beyond the house to that 827m² corner block and explore the potential for a granny flat whether that's for an additional income stream, grandparents or grown up kids (STCA). Luckily for whoever takes on Betty's makeover, Bunnings isn't far away either.

Let Betty Grow With Your Family

She's seen first steps, first teeth, first days of school and birthdays with a house full of balloons. The kids grew up. Then the grandkids grew up too. Now another chapter is waiting.

That fourth bedroom might start as a nursery, become a playroom, then a study. Eventually those little kids aren't so little anymore and the University of Newcastle is close by. Until then, there's a nearby park to enjoy, Wallsend shops close by and a quiet street to come home to.

Betty isn't asking you to fall in love with everything she is today.

She's asking you to imagine what she could become tomorrow.

Bring your ideas. Bring your inspiration. Bring your tool belt.

Thank you for being a friend, Betty. Now it's time for a new family to make some golden memories of their own.
