Classic Bones & Substantial Block Awaiting Your Vision, 800m to UoN
Just 800m (around a 12-minute walk) from the University of Newcastle, this classic three-bedroom weatherboard home presents an exciting opportunity for renovators, investors and those looking to unlock the potential of a substantial landholding.
Character features including dark timber detailing, a brick fireplace, five-step cornices and French doors provide plenty of appeal, while the kitchen and bathroom offer clear scope to modernise and add value. The standout feature is undoubtedly the land. Spanning 1,018sqm with an approximate 16.18m frontage and reserve at the rear, the block offers exceptional potential for a second dwelling, granny flat or other future improvements (STCA). Currently returning $540 per week on an expired lease, the property provides immediate holding income, allowing you to continue renting it out while planning your next move.
With Jesmond Central, public transport and the University all within easy reach, plus the upcoming Inner City Bypass extension improving access to John Hunter Hospital, this is a property with both current appeal and significant future upside.
