Guide $1,100,000
Classic on the outside, this gorgeous three-bedroom brick terrace has a whole lot of clever surprises waiting behind its traditional façade. From the wide timber floors, coloured glass windows and two beautiful fireplaces to the intricate lacework verandah, there's plenty of old-world charm to fall in love with. But it's the unexpected extras that really make this Wickham home special. A huge upstairs Queensland room, a mezzanine loft bed, attic storage and the rare luxury of secure off-street parking for two cars all make clever use of every inch of space, while modern updates to the kitchen and two bathrooms bring contemporary comfort to this character-filled home.
The first surprise is tucked behind a French door in the lounge room. A single lock-up garage is something of a rarity among the terraces on this street, and with a rear roller door opening into the courtyard, there's room to securely park a second car if needed. Alternatively, keep the courtyard for its intended purpose, a private spot for alfresco dining and soaking up the sunshine. Back inside, the welcoming lounge flows through to a separate dining room, where an ornate timber fireplace adds a beautiful sense of history. The adjoining kitchen has been smartly updated, while a twin shower bathroom and laundry sit quietly at the rear.
Upstairs, the surprises keep coming. Above the garage, a fabulous Queensland room adds more than 20sqm of extra living space, complete with decked floors and windows that can be opened to let the sea breeze drift through or closed to create a cosy retreat in winter. It's a wonderfully versatile space for entertaining, relaxing or simply spreading out. Three bedrooms also occupy this level, including one that opens to the classic lacework verandah, where movable shutters provide privacy and leafy northerly views across the street trees. Another bedroom features a mezzanine loft bed that teenagers will love, while the third has its own ensuite. A pull-down attic ladder reveals yet another clever storage solution.
Step outside and you're right in the thick of Wickham's vibrant harbourside lifestyle. Newcastle Interchange, the light rail, Honeysuckle's restaurants and bars, and the harbour foreshore are all just moments away. Morning bike rides to Nobbys Beach, sunset drinks at the Yacht Club or dinner at Flotilla can easily become part of your weekly routine.
