28 Tennent Rd, Mount Hutton NSW 2290

The possibilities presented by any original home are always exciting to the seasoned renovator or builder, but this home adds a little more interest with a charming entry to the block making a statement. Not for the faint-hearted, there's no denying that plenty of elbow grease is required to bring this back to a liveable home, but the reward for young buyers who aren't afraid of hard work and are searching for an affordable property will pay off in spades. Alternatively, you could go the whole mile and knock the home down and rebuild.

Inside its two-bedroom layout, you'll find a large kitchen, a large living room, and an original bathroom, with a generous studio space and laundry underneath the home. An art-deco stained glass door in the living area is a lovely feature that would be a shame to lose. Elevating appeal, the yard boasts a north-to-rear aspect and was magnificent at some stage of its life. Full of mature greenery (including a towering Norfolk pine) and wonderfully private, it won't take much to bring it back to its former glory.

Exceptionally convenient, Mount Hutton neighbourhood shops, school and Lake Macquarie Square are little more than 10 minutes' walk away, giving you access to essentials on foot. Charlestown Square and the blue water expanse of Lake Macquarie are also counted as nearby neighbours in this handy locale.
