Known as the historic heart of Newcastle, The Hill has a 'San Franciscan' feel with streets running down the hill to the harbour. Presenting as the perfect setting for this immensely peaceful and private family home, aptly known as 'Harbour Lights,' its elevated position, with second frontage to Lemnos Parade, allows it to capture the most amazing views that take in a full sweep of the city, ocean, marina and magical sunsets across the distant mountains. From the kitchen window you can even see as far as Dudley Bluff. Sitting atop its two separate garages, the home offers a generous single level of living featuring four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an executive home office, formal lounge room, formal dining/rumpus and a contemporary kitchen and casual meals area. A multitude of stacker, sliding and French doors take you to a choice of alfresco spaces, an expanse of level lawn and a gas-heated self-cleaning Compass pool that appears to sit suspended above street level. No matter where you sit, relax or entertain, you will never tire of taking in the beauty of this home's surroundings. A catalogue of additional appointments includes a temperature-controlled wine cellar, valuable attic storage as well as a store room, automatic garden irrigation system, back to base security, video intercom entry, ducted air-conditioning, gas fire and rainwater tank. Outside, the local area will prove very tempting with King Edward Park, Darby Street, pristine beaches and coastal walks moments from your door. - Built c.1920 from double brick and tile on north facing 595sqm parcel - Double garage accessed of Anzac Parade, single garage accessed off Lemnos Parade - Enjoy the New Year's Eve fireworks from the home's choice of alfresco entertaining areas - Main bathroom with ensuite access off master bedroom features a sunken bath, separate shower, heated towel rail, granite-topped double vanity and floor to ceiling tiling - Full sized laundry with shower over bath and second w/c and vanity - Ensuite bathroom to one of the secondary bedrooms - Contemporary kitchen with Miele induction and gas hob,1.5 ovens, plate warmer and integrated dishwasher - Beautiful gardens with fruit trees and a historic fountain thought to be from Elizabeth Bay House in Sydney
