Auction Location: PRD Newcastle 2/16 Telford St, Newcastle East and Live via Auction Now Website. <br/><br/>Architecturally renovated and extended both up and out with a clear sense of style and a sensitive respect for its period traditions, the charm of this c1927 Californian bungalow is matched by the beauty of its sophisticated, contemporary elements. From its two separate living areas and four bedrooms including a whole floor parents' retreat, to its saltwater pool and sublime pool house creating separate guest accommodation, absolutely everything is in place for you to move in and embrace life in this stunning home and its family-friendly location on the border of The Junction.<br/><br/>The level of style and the commitment to quality are emphatically apparent in every detail of this beautiful home. Ornate plaster ceilings with cornice freezes, timber floors and a classic front verandah accessed off one of the front rooms are all hallmarks of the bungalow era. <br/>The practicality of the floorplan successfully zones three ground floor bedrooms, sitting room, bathroom and study in their own wing for enhanced privacy and functionality.<br/><br/>A luxurious space where relaxation and privacy are the priority, the parents' retreat upstairs will be your holiday-at-home. Soaring cathedral ceilings and louvre windows enhance the sense of space, light and air in the bedroom. The executive office is perfect for those still working for home, and the ensuite enjoys the luxury of underfloor heating. This sanctuary wouldn't be complete with an alfresco element and the adjoining deck will be your go-to spot for morning coffee or afternoon glass of wine.<br/><br/>Back downstairs, the Caesarstone kitchen sits at its heart flowing freely into the light-filled family and dining room where louvre windows provide beautiful cross ventilation. Sliding doors extend the home onto the deck, pool and gardens where there is plenty of room for kids to play and adults to entertain. And that pool house delivers a third living space, fifth bedroom and fourth bathroom functioning as a superb entertaining area or private guest suite.<br/><br/>Less than 500m to the heart of The Junction, here you can buy your morning coffee, browse the local specialty shops and boutiques or dine out at one of its many eateries.
