Wallsend 62 Metcalfe Street
Gorgeous Period Home with Modern Updates Will Have You at Hello
This gorgeous period weatherboard home has travelled through time gracefully with a host of stylish updates adding contemporary appeal. Behind a captivating facade, the beauty continues inside where polished timber floorboards flow underfoot, stunning decorative high ceilings soar above, and dado boards and picture rails add a fine finishing touch. A delightful sunroom on entry precedes the spacious nature of the lounge and dining area that invites the household to come together in the heart of the home. Three generous bedrooms are serviced by a charming family bathroom, while under the home the large laundry features a second shower and w/c delivering family-sized comfort. The island kitchen sits at the rear with easy flow onto the Merbau deck. Elevated above the leafy backyard with a sunny north-easterly aspect, you are going to love this spot that's wonderfully private for alfresco entertaining and where lorikeets and black cockatoos come to say "Hello." Corner block positioned with an oversized double garage accessed off Close Street, the edible backyard completes this heart-warming property. Stroll to parkland and sports ground as well as Wallsend Public school, and Wallsend Village is nearby for all your shopping needs.
