226 Hannell St, Maryville NSW 2293

Locals would like to keep the magic of Maryville a secret but there's no way to hide the convenience of being so close to the city while surrounded by cafes, entertainment and green space. Newy Parkrun is only a warm up jog away, the serenity of Throsby Creek Boardwalk is down the road and there are multiple nightlife options close enough to spare the taxi ride home.

Standing proudly at the end of an historic row of terraces, this striking home is ready to have its layers peeled back and original beauty restored. Period features include wide hardwood floors, arched doorways, built-in bookshelf, and a former fireplace with charming brickwork just waiting to be exposed. Being this close to everything means there's always time for a morning coffee in the sunny private courtyard before heading off to work or play, whether you're catching a bus from around the corner, walking to Newcastle Interchange or taking the waterside path to the CBD.

In the evenings you'll be spoilt for choice: do you cook in the spacious U-shaped kitchen or eat out at one of the many cafes and restaurants nearby? Joining the kitchen on the ground floor is the living room with ample storage, a good sized dining room with a pass-through window to the kitchen, the laundry and a bathroom with separate WC. Upstairs you'll find two bedrooms, both with extensive built-in wardrobes, plus a sunroom that could be utilised as an office or chill out zone. The backyard is low maintenance and surprisingly large, featuring a covered entertaining area and an additional paved space with a garden shed.
