16 Henry St, Belmont NSW 2280

Held by the same family for 42 years, this substantial Belmont home has grown right alongside them, extended over time to create approximately 240sqm of indoor living with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two kitchens and multiple living areas across two levels. Set on a 670.3sqm block just 600m from the lake's edge, there's an enormous amount of space and flexibility here for a large or multi-generational household, along with glimpses of Lake Macquarie from upstairs.

The ground floor offers three bedrooms, each with ensuite access to one of two bathrooms, along with a sunroom and separate living room, before opening at the rear to an expansive kitchen, dining and family zone. A covered entertaining deck gives you plenty of room for entertaining. Upstairs almost works as a home within a home, with two more bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette and an impressively large living and dining area capturing water views. DA approval is already in place for a balcony here, giving you the opportunity to extend the living outdoors and make even more of that lake outlook. The freestanding double garage/workshop brings even more versatility, incorporating a studio, storage and plumbing, while wide side access and extensive off-street parking leave room for the boat, caravan, trailer and extra vehicles.

Here, the lifestyle stretches well beyond the front door. Spend weekends sailing, fishing or paddling on Lake Macquarie, stroll into Belmont for cafés, shopping and everyday essentials, or swap the lake for the ocean with Redhead Beach just over 10 minutes away.
