Nestled directly opposite King Edward Park, this charming semi-detached home, from the late 1800s, invites you on a delightful journey through the ages. It has been thoughtfully enhanced and expanded over the years while preserving its timeless elegance and traditional allure. Inside, you'll discover exquisite original period features, such as twin marble fireplaces, grand cedar French doors, and a beautifully detailed timber staircase. Home to the late artist, Rae Richards, who enjoyed 70 years of involvement with the Newcastle art scene, and whose most visible artwork is surely the suite of fabric banners commissioned for the nave and chancel of Christ Church Cathedral. Rae used the upper two bedrooms as her artist's studio, no doubt drawing on the interesting architecture, stunning natural light, and beautiful park backdrop as inspiration. With its sturdy construction and solid foundation, this three bedroom, three bathroom home provides a strong starting point for some rejuvenation and repairs. Think of it as an opportunity to breathe new life into its already remarkable character and make it truly shine. By giving it a little TLC, and the magic hands of a green thumb in the large backyard, you'll have the chance to create a space that perfectly balances historic charm with modern comforts. And let's not forget about this home's enviable The Terrace address, which is a privilege enjoyed by only a few. Living here means being part of an exclusive community that appreciates the unique beauty and history of this area. From here, a surf at Newcastle Beach, a sunset walk along the Anzac Memorial walk, coffee in Darby or Hunter Street, or a dip in the Bogey Hole, are all simply effortless. - Gorgeous sunroom on entry to take in the morning sun and park views - Main bedroom on ground floor with a/c, dressing room, full ensuite and sunroom access - Lounge and dining areas flow into gas-equipped kitchen and out to alfresco and garden - 700m to Newcastle East Public School and Newcastle Grammar Outgoings: Council: *$3,800pa Water: *$765pa + usage * approximates only (We have obtained all information used in the preparation of this document from third party sources however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or currency of this information.
