It is not often a pair of Victorian semi-detached homes come to market and good interest is expected for one such case in Cooks Hill.
Robinson Property's Ben Robinson is marketing the side-by-side dwellings on separate titles in Parry Street. They can be bought separately or as one.
They were built circa 1910 and both have two bedrooms, one bathroom and off-street parking. Mr Robinson has listed 31 Parry Street with a guide of $1.15 million to $1.25 million and 29 Parry Street for $1.1 million to $1.2 million.
"It's fairly unique where you get two semis side-by-side like this," Mr Robinson said.
"They're a mirror image of each other. The two properties are quintessential Cooks Hill - tree-lined street and all level. They have a desired north-to-south orientation, off-street parking and both have good-sized, level, grassed backyards. They're quite different but I think they'll be very well received."
Mr Robinson will have No.31 open at 1pm on Saturday and No.29 at 1.30pm. Both blend hallmarks of their Victorian era, such as 3.3-metre pressed metal ceilings and original fireplaces, with modern touches.
Eye-catching design
From a traditional offering to something a bit more edgy, PRD Newcastle and Lake Macquarie are marketing a Merewether home that has an award-winning renovation and extension behind an understated brick facade.
Mark Kentwell and Jesse Wilton are selling the four-bedroom, three-bathroom residence at 27 Kempster Road with a guide of $2.3 million. It has vaulted ceilings and expanses of glass. The walls have a neutral palette complemented by pops of vibrant colours. The home also features a spa, sauna, private gardens and district views with ocean glimpses. It is open Saturday at 11am.
Strong appeal in Tighes Hill
Lyndall Allan, of Robinson Property, has reported a range of interest in a charming three-bedroom home on a generous double block, 828 square metres in size, at 26 Hewison Street in Tighes Hill. It has a guide of $1.195 million.
"Interest has been solid because it appeals to developers and investors, but the family market that wants that big, lush backyard as well," Ms Allan said. "Generally blocks in Tighes Hill are much smaller, so it's a rare find."
Inspections are by appointment only.
