A stunning period gem set high on The Hill in Newcastle, this property represents inner city living at its finest. Combining the beauty of a historic terrace facade with a sympathetic renovation that opens up the design for practical, modern living, the property is large enough for families but cosy enough for empty nesters who want to make the most of the lifestyle offered by its dress circle location. Beautiful features from the home’s C1900 era such as high ceilings, marble fireplaces, fretwork, picture rails and ceiling roses seamlessly blend with more contemporary elements. The open plan kitchen, dining and living area makes an ideal central gathering space for the family whereas a second living room and a versatile front room, which could easily be used as a fourth bedroom or home office, allow for space and privacy. A double sliding door from this open plan zone provides access to the tiled undercover area, allowing you to take your entertaining outdoors, with a frameless glass balustrade offering an unimpeded view of the easy-care rear yard. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a dedicated parent’s retreat with ensuite, plenty of storage and a small Juliet balcony. A truly impressive space with ample room for two double beds is the bedroom at the front of the home presenting access to a balcony. This remarkable home includes a surprising amount of off-street parking for such a prime inner city address, with a double detached garage at the rear of the block with room for additional parking in the driveway. Located in the buzzing inner city suburb of The Hill, Newcastle's best local beaches, cafes, restaurants & bars are all within convenient walking distance.
