The end terrace in a row of four built in 1880, this triple-storey Victorian residence is distinguished by its wider frontage, large block size and generous gardens with rear lane access. The property was once home to the mayor of Newcastle and artist Margaret Olley, from where some of her 'Newcastle Watercolours' were painted. Extensively renovated in the 1990s, high ceilings, multiple fireplaces and a grand cedar staircase are beautiful reminders of the home's Victorian origins. The versatile floorplan offers formal lounge and dining rooms and a modern kitchen and breakfast nook opening to a sunny verandah on main level. Upstairs, find a parents' retreat, two bathrooms and three bedrooms, the master being the pick with its northerly light and dynamic harbour views. The once maids' quarters add more rooms for the astute buyer to utilise. Lovely and cool courtesy of the sandstone walls, configured as three separate rooms with a laundry and w/c. The gardens are perfect for outdoor entertaining with a paved alfresco or for those with green thumbs with plenty of established plants to attend to. A large 27.5sqm shed provides potential off-street parking, although two parking permits plus one for visitors means parking on the street is a breeze. The blue-ribbon location is unbeatable with a myriad of lifestyle attractions literally on your doorstep. From here, a surf at Newcastle Beach, a stroll across beautiful King Edward Park, coffee in Darby Street, a drink or dining at Honeysuckle, or a wander to the new East End precinct and soon to open Woolies Metro are all simply effortless. * Victorian terrace on 387sqm block with north facing rear and harbour views * Versatile three storey floorplan currently featuring up to four bedrooms * Lounge and dining rooms with ornamental fireplaces, gas heating and bookcases * Air-conditioned breakfast room and Caesarstone kitchen with gas cooktop and dishwasher * French door access to rear verandah overlooking extensive gardens * Two of the bedrooms upstairs open to classic lacework verandah * Two bathrooms plus three additional toilets - one outdoors * 5m x 5.5m shed with rear lane access provides abundant storage/potential parking * 240m to Newcastle East Public school; 300m to Newcastle Grammar We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
