Prime position
Northcote Street is one of Bellingen’s most sought after streets with many historic homes having now been renovated and restored including George Moore’s own home (the famous architect & builder responsible for Bellingen Courthouse and The Hammond & Wheatley Emporium.
This property was fully renovated in 2004/5 with further improvements and additions made in the last 18 months by the current owners. So in the last 6 years the property has been re-wired, re-stumped, re-plumbed, fully insulated and extended with no expense spared. There’s now a comfortable, covered rear deck, ‘Crim Safe’ screens on most doors and windows, dimmer switches on all the lights, ceiling fans, European shower head, window awnings, Austar connection, and wait for it…. soft close toilet lid!

Continuing down the hall we find the spacious bathroom, lots of storage cupboards and another bedroom before we emerge into the new extension bathed in natural light, lots of space, high ceilings and magnificent mountain views.
