28 Silsoe Street Hamilton South, NSW 2303

Some homes are simply too special to part with. Others are held close for generations. Now, after half a century with one family, a rare opportunity is about to unfold in one of Newcastle's most prestigious and tightly held neighbourhoods.

An address of distinction. A home with a story. An opportunity that seldom presents itself.

Behind a white picket fence and a tessellated-tile path, this Federation-style home sits on 882m2 with its character intact. It has a gabled facade with timber fretwork, a 13-metre front porch, leadlight windows, picture rails, boxed ceilings and two fireplaces.

You enter through an arched brick entry and stained-glass doors into the formal lounge. Its timber-panelled walls and tiled brick fireplace sit beneath a wall of diamond-pane leadlight windows. Stained-glass French doors lead to a second living room with its own fireplace, then on to a bright dining room that opens to a side patio.

The kitchen has classic white cabinetry with granite benchtops and splashback, a Falcon Classic Deluxe 90cm dual fuel range cooker in cream and brass, a dishwasher, glass-fronted display cabinets, a breakfast bar and pantry storage. Next to it are a separate laundry and a study with a built-in desk and floor-to-ceiling storage.

There are four bedrooms off a central hallway. The main bedroom is a generous 5.5m x 4.3m and opens to a long sunroom, a lovely spot for morning coffee or a quiet read. The family bathroom has a twin vanity and shower. There's also an ensuite and two separate toilets, so the home works easily for a busy household.

Out the back, a covered entertaining area under a wisteria-draped pergola looks across a large, level lawn framed by established trees and gardens. A gated side driveway leads to a double carport and a lock-up garage with storage.

50 years in the making. Yours to discover.
