12ft ceilings, marble fireplaces and stunning timber work along with grand formal living and dining spaces, and unobstructed views to the Pacific Ocean are just some of the features defining the magnificent Victorian Italianate mansion known as St Aubyns. Embodying space, privacy, lifestyle, and a truly exceptional home seeped in history and quality – prepare to fall in love. Beautifully transformed in 2006 by a three year makeover, this elegant 1880's residence is a family home at heart featuring three separate living areas, 4-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom accommodation, and dual access from High Street into a triple car garage. Versatile loft space with ensuite above the garage offers a multitude of uses, from extra sleeping quarters to a guest suite, or a quiet, disruption-free space to work from home. A deep set back from the road behind French parterre gardens and fishpond gifts wonderful privacy and a grand sense of arrival. Inside, generous proportions flow throughout the entire residence – its traditional layout featuring formal reception rooms, a TV room, and a relaxed open plan family living area and French Provincial style kitchen at the rear. A travertine paved terrace and saltwater pool extends your dining and entertaining options outdoors creating the perfect setting for cocktail parties, long lunches, and family celebrations. The master bedroom with custom walk-in robe and ensuite offers sanctuary status upstairs in the eastern wing of the home. Enjoy your morning coffee on the upper level verandah as the sun rises over the ocean and watch whales and dolphins breach and ships sailing into port from this brilliant spot. The remaining three bedrooms, one with ensuite, and the main bathroom with clawfoot bath reside together in the western wing. The Terrace is undoubtedly one of Newcastle's most blue-ribbon addresses. Steeped in history and fronting King Edward Park with mesmerising views out to the Pacific Ocean, the single-sided street of Victorian Italianate and Rustic Gothic houses were built in the 1880s for the city's wealthy. From here, a surf at Newcastle Beach, a sunset walk along the beach or Anzac Memorial walk, coffee in Darby or Hunter Street, or a dip in the Bogey Hole, are all simply effortless. - 581.7sqm block, one of only two on The Terrace with dual frontage to High Street - Beautiful landscape architect designed gardens with fishpond - Adjoining formal lounge and dining rooms with marble fireplace, timber bookcases, cedar plantation shutters, 12-foot ceiling and timber floors - TV lounge with marble fireplace and stunning pressed metal ceiling with French doors opening to wrap-around verandah - Open plan family living and dining featuring a French Provincial island kitchen with Ilve 6-burner gas range and integrated Miele dishwasher - Bi-fold doors open to alfresco entertaining terrace and saltwater pool - Four bedrooms, two with ensuite featuring under floor heating, and family bathroom with clawfoot bath and shower upstairs - Upper-level verandah with unobstructed views to Newcastle Ocean Baths, and Port Stephens - Triple car garage with upper-level retreat and fourth bathroom - In catchment for Newcastle East Public school; 750m to Newcastle Grammar - 850m to new Nihon University and 1500m to University of Newcastle city campus Outgoings: Council Rate: $4,633.12 per annum Water Rate: $1,656.09 per annum Dimensions: Internal Living Area: 404m² External Living Area: 77m² Total Living Area: 481m² ***Health & Safety Measures are in Place for Open Homes & All Private Inspections Disclaimer: All information contained herein is gathered from sources we deem reliable.
