It may have been a town filled with colonists cashing in on coal in the early nineteenth century, but Dudley has since become a desirable patch of beachside living.
And, depending on which side of the fence you sit, it has “protected its borders” by classifying much of its surrounds as nature reserve, pushing back against any major housing developments.
For the 2,500 people lucky enough to call Dudley home, the suburb boasts a world-class beach, quaint shopping strip, two historic pubs, a school, parks, ovals, basketball courts, and a community hall with shared garden.
The locale on the fringes of Lake Macquarie LGA, perched between Redhead and Whitebridge, has a new real estate offering – a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home on Elizabeth Street.
Set on a sunny corner, number 25 Elizabeth Street is framed with willow trees and established hedges, adding a privacy element that hides its open living within.
Awash with natural light and views of the garden and outdoor entertainment area, the home is to be lived both indoors and out.
Designed by ELK and built by Hotondo Homes in 2013, it boasts both modern features and a warm family feel.
The two-storey home allows entertaining to saturate the lower level, with all three bedrooms set apart upstairs.
Square-set ceilings, an electric sunroof, sunken outdoor kitchen with barbecue, low-maintenance established gardens, large sliding doors that open onto the outdoor deck, a secure private yard, and a double garage.
There is even scope to extend the home above the garage if desired, with plans already drawn up by an engineer.
The list of features continues inside with spotted gum flooring on lower level, plenty of storage, a mud room under the stairs, a large island bench with waterfall edges, gas, electric stove, walk-in pantry, Bosch appliances, and a study nook.
25 Elizabeth Street, Dudley will go to auction on Saturday 3 June at 11.15am.
The price guide on this auction is $1,300,000.
Robinson Property real estate agent Natalie Francis says she confident it will sell fast.
“I think this home will be very popular,” she said.
