Hamilton South 260 Glebe Road

A much-loved family home on offer for the first time in 37 years, this brick beauty (circa 1920) flaunts the magic of its Federation-style heritage from the front gate right through to the back patio.

The sympathetic renovation ties in seamlessly with the pristine character-rich elements that are all wonderfully well-kept. Just some of the period features on offer here are the 11.5ft ceilings, beautiful timber fretwork and built-in cabinetry, elegant leadlight windows, two original open fireplaces (in working order), and gorgeous ornate ceilings and cornices, all of which leave a lasting impression as you make your way through this standout home.

The heart of this home is the living space at the rear which provides space for a home office, formal lounge room and combined dining and sitting room looking out into the fully landscaped and fenced courtyard.

Your kitchen looks over the combined dining and sitting room and provides the perfect platform to cook whilst entertaining and socialising with guests. In terms of fitout this kitchen does not leave much to the imagination; enjoy wide and clear useable bench space, ample storage, quality appliances and a corner pantry.

With enough room for family or guests the home has potentially four large bedrooms all with quality carpet underfoot and spacious built-in wardrobes. All bedrooms are decorated with ornate ceiling roses and cornices. The main bedroom also includes a well-proportioned ensuite bathroom.

With so much to admire inside, it's easy to forget what a stellar location this home is in, within close proximity to Merewether, Dixon Park and Bar Beach and the ever expanding eateries and boutique shopping on offer in The Junction and Hamilton. All of this is within easy walking or riding distance with an excellent bus service available as well. For families, there is a selection of great schools with Hamilton South Public School nearby, as well as Merewether High School, Newcastle High School and SFX. A short stroll down Gordon Avenue or into Merewether will land you at some of Newcastle's best sporting grounds and parklands.
