Overview
Set on a generous 952 square meter elevated block in one of The Hill's most established streets, this striking c1880 Victorian residence offers an exceptional blend of heritage architecture and expansive living. The property's north-facing aspect and upper-level vantage provide panoramic vistas sweeping across Newcastle city, harbor, and the distant Anna Bay sand dunes, creating a serene and inspiring backdrop for daily life.
The home is distinguished by classic Victorian design features including soaring ceilings, arched painted cedar windows and doors, three original fireplaces—two recently converted to gas logs—and decorative hallway arches that enhance the sense of grandeur. These period details contribute to an ambiance of refined elegance and timeless character.
The interior layout encourages a seamless lifestyle flow, with a sunroom inviting garden views, formal lounge and dining rooms alongside a contemporary stone-surfaced kitchen equipped with a gas cooktop, semi-integrated dishwasher, and breakfast seating. Casual living and dining areas extend to a private alfresco zone, overlooking a lush, leafy backyard that amplifies the sense of space and outdoor connection.
Upstairs accommodates five generously proportioned bedrooms, including a main suite with a walk-in robe and a large opulent ensuite featuring a bathtub. Two bedrooms enjoy direct access to a tiled balcony, perfect for enjoying morning coffee while soaking in the views. A study provides a versatile workspace or retreat.
- The large block presents subdivision potential (subject to council approval), offering a rare opportunity to create a 400sqm landholding with street access and approx 14.6m frontage at the rear.
- Additional features include a deep 9.2m tandem carport for off-street parking and rooftop solar panels enhancing energy efficiency.
- The north-facing gardens are complemented by a resort-style inground swimming pool, ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
This residence, located outside heritage listing but within a conservation zone, offers scope for future personalization and adaptation while preserving its iconic status.
