78 Donald St, Hamilton NSW 2303

There is something particularly compelling about a 1930s Californian bungalow that has been given a contemporary edit without erasing original details. Behind electric gates, this weatherboard classic has been comprehensively renovated across 423.7sqm, retaining polished timber floors, ornate plaster ceilings and a front sunroom, plus separate living and dining zones, two renovated bathrooms, air-conditioning and a kitchen finished in substantial 60mm stone benchtops. Two sets of French doors extend the main living zones onto a broad entertaining deck, with the north-facing backyard opening beyond to the lawn and garden. The main bedroom claims the original sunroom as an adjoining office, creating a useful separation between work and rest, while two further bedrooms offer the same double-sized dimensions. Outside, a modern concrete driveway delivers multi-vehicle off-street parking, adding daily ease to a property where the original architecture has been given a current interpretation. Then there is Hamilton itself, with Beaumont Street's restaurants and cafes around 400m away, Aldi close enough to make the weekly shop a breeze, and Hamilton Station providing a direct rail connection to the city. The harbour foreshore and Newcastle's beaches are less than 10 minutes away, while Hamilton Public School, Newcastle High, HSPA and the weekend farmers' markets at Newcastle Showground are all within easy reach. Zoned B4 Mixed Use, the property also brings future flexibility, with the potential for a combination of commercial and residential uses, STCA.
