11 Platt St, Waratah NSW 2298

Looking at the house from the front garden, of note is the classic double stack chimney rising proudly from the 'dominant roofline'. Then it's up the sandstone block steps, and protected by the bullnose veranda, we gain entry to the past. The hallway is adorned with its original floorboards, dado work and architraves and capped with original picture rails and timber boards lining the ceiling. 3 Bedrooms branch off, all still displaying their original features including highlight windows above the doors and 3.1m ceilings. One bedroom has even been favoured with its own authentic ornate fireplace. The only necessary hint of today is that all 3 bedrooms have built in robes. The hallway leads to a lovely lounge room that once again celebrates the building treasures of this period, including another gorgeous ornate fireplace.

It is here we bid farewell to the early 20th century with a sympathetic transition that pays homage to the building's history while introducing the benefits of modern living and standards. The bathroom is bright and contemporary while detailing a claw foot bath and period style taps and shower head. The back of the building opens up to an airy and light filled kitchen, dining, living space that shares its dimensions with the backyard extending both the feel and the practicality of blurring the line between outside and in.

All this plus the added rewards of living 6km from Newcastle's CBD, harbour precinct and beaches with Waratah train station only minutes away, while also being surrounded by quality schools, parks and Waratah Shopping Village.
