Few Blackalls Park properties can rival this Art Deco "treasure", which according to agent George Rafty would make an ideal "getaway". First National Newcastle City are marketing the unique four-bedroom lakeside home with a guide of $800,000 to $880,000. It enjoys a prime waterfront reserve position at 17 Blackall Avenue and has been in the same family since it was built circa 1920. Related content: The home was used as a weekender in its early days before becoming a family residence which has housed weddings and plenty of social gatherings in its time. The interiors are something to be seen with original features of yesteryear including a built-in window-lined seat, timber floors, working fireplaces and 12-foot ceilings. The large living room remains the feature of the home. The property has a boat house and the home is positioned on a 732 square metre block of land overlooking Fennell Bay. "When you walk in, it's an eye opener and it's got so much charm," Mr Rafty said. "I'm expecting good numbers to come and look at this house and $800s to $900s is exceptional for waterfront property." It is open for inspection for the first time on Sunday at midday and set for an on site auction on October 20.
