DEARLY LOVED HOME ON CORNER BLOCK READY FOR ITS NEXT CHAPTER
Built and held by the same family since 1959, this much-loved home is ready for its next chapter. Beautifully maintained, it captures the charm of late '50s/early '60s design while offering the kind of flexibility that still works today. You can move straight in and take your time planning what comes next.
The current layout gives you options with a two-bedroom, one-bathroom main residence plus a self-contained one-bedroom granny flat under the same roofline. It's an ideal extra space for extended family, guests, a teen retreat or an added income stream to ease the load.
Set on a 556.4sqm corner block on Wakal Street, there's scope to update or rework over time. Refresh the kitchens and bathrooms to add value or reconfigure into a larger three or four-bedroom home. A carport, double garage and workshop add plenty of practical appeal, while the R3 Medium Density zoning opens the door to duplex potential (STCA).
Positioned on the sought-after eastern side, this address is all about convenience. Kinda Capers Childcare centre is just 350m away, Charlestown East Public School is 800m from home, and Charlestown Square and Whitebridge shops and cafés are minutes from your door.

PRIVATE, RENOVATED HIDEAWAY WITH LUSH LEAFY VIEWS AND PEACEFUL PARENTS' RETREAT
Set back from the street on a quiet private road shared by only a handful of homes, this dual-level brick-and-tile residence sits high on a 1069sqm block, giving it a genuine sense of calm and seclusion.

The home has been steadily renovated over time, so you can simply settle in and enjoy it.

Out back, a covered deck looks over the generous yard offering plenty of safe, open space for kids and pets to play.
