Large home, set in an entertainer’s garden, currently set up as a home business.
Property ID: 229838
This is the perfect house for those who want to work from home.
It is a pleasure to enter this property through its tropical garden – you will slow down and relax straight away. Inside the house, every room has a lovely garden view, except bathrooms. Gardens of this quality rarely come on to the market.
This is a large home of approximately 163 sqm interior space plus over 30 sqm of covered external entertaining areas. It is the largest in the street and surrounds, compared to the average of 120 sqm. The block size is 695sqm.
ABOUT THE GARDEN
• The Fully Landscaped Entertainers Garden has a lush tropical feel complemented by flowering shrubs. The generous yard has numerous places to sit and relax under established shade trees.
• Two Covered Outdoor Spaces. The large veranda and patio allow you to entertain in comfort, seating 30 people and provide for the largest family gatherings and garden parties. The fully fenced yard will keep children and pets contained and entertained.
• The Vegetable Garden in the spacious rear yard is highly productive with established asparagus, pecan tree, coffee, herbs etc. It is cleared ready for you to plant.
• A Brick Shed to keep your garden tools etc. secure.
• The Basic Garden Design. The front garden faces west and has been planted to effectively cool the house on hot days. The side and back gardens close to the house are planted with deciduous shrubs to shade in summer and warm in winter. Close to the fences are fire retardant hedges.
• Step Outside the Rear Gate to access the park which surrounds the entire street, extensive walks and bike trail rides. The tree corridor behind the house, established parkland trees and elevated position will have the birdwatcher in you entertained by the black cockatoos, bushland birds and raptors that frequent the location.
ABOUT THE HOUSE
• The house was originally 4 bedrooms + lounge + a studio / rumpus room.
• The current owner has the house set up as a 1 bedroom + 2 bathrooms + artist’s studio and large display gallery + 2 lounge rooms. The house can be easily transformed into a 3 or 4 bedroom home.
• Home Business or Work from Home - The house is perfect for working from home. The business areas can be locked off to prevent clients entering the private areas of the home. The current studio and large gallery have excellent lighting, a hot water sink and access to a toilet. There is a bus stop 200 metres away with a direct route to the airport.
• The current bedroom has soothing garden views and access to the garden. It has a built-in wardrobe within and another in the hall opposite.
• The Spacious Kitchen opens onto a living/dining room with direct access to the garden. The Kitchen is in good working order but is old and ready for a new owner to update in their own style. It uses energy saving cookers – a 4 burner induction hob and a countertop 4-in-1 cooker which is a convection oven, grill, steamer, and microwave. It has a large second sink for making home brew while watching TV sport. Under the sink is a European style laundry. Dishwasher plumbing and mains gas are installed but not currently used.
• The Lounge Room opens onto the veranda and has lovely garden views. It has a storage room and built-in cupboards for hobbies, books, ironing board and linen.
• All the houses in the street were built in the 80’s as air force officers housing.
• Energy efficiency. The new roof has a double thickness insulation and solar panels. The front veranda, studio and north facing patio also have insulated ceilings. Ceiling fans and a powerful ventilation system ducted to 4 rooms will remove hot air from the house in minutes. There are 3 sets of louvres backed by stainless steel security screens – so they can be left open when you go out. On hot days the house is cooler than the neighbour’s homes without air conditioning.
ABOUT THE AREA
• Close to The House it is a short walk to primary and high schools. The house is 1.5 km to the town centre where there is easy parking for the weekly shopping. It is 200 metres to a bus stop with direct routes to the airport, CBD, Newcastle and more. It is a short walk to the golf club as well as Lakeside shops - post office, chemist, bakery, tavern etc. Lakeside leisure centre has a swimming pool and tenpin bowling. There are many sports fields, clubs, extensive bike paths and river sports. There is a choice of many fantastic beaches within 25 to 40 minutes. There are many picturesque outdoor forms of entertainment close by.
• Raymond Terrace is a scenic country town beside the Hunter River, with a wide range of services. Along the riverfront is a shady park, café and family friendly pub that have relaxing river views across farmland to the distant hills. Raymond Terrace is central to the Hunter Valley, Newcastle and Port Stephens and is surrounded by bushland, fertile farmland, heritage towns and rainforests. It is central also to the employment centres of Newcastle Airport and Hunter industrial areas.
