Auction Location: Friendly Auction Online - Live via Buy.Realtair.com Website A collaboration between architect Chris Tucker and award-winning builder Todd Blatchford has transformed this terrace on The Hill into a chic urban haven with industrial loft style vibes that instantly transport you to New York. Exposed brick walls, polished concrete floors, metal staircases and wire balustrading epitomise trendy inner-city living, while the spectacular rooftop entertaining terrace could rival that of any five-star hotel. Cinematic views of the harbour, Christ Church Cathedral and Obelisk are all uniquely Newcastle, while this home's historic location is one of the hottest parts of town. Unassuming from the street, the tri-level terrace has been reinvented to maximise space and light creating zones to live, relax, work and entertain. The entry level is devoted to family and guests featuring a TV room, three bedrooms, and wet-room bathroom and laundry, with an office discreetly placed at the front of the home for maximum privacy. The grand double-height entrance atrium makes an immediate visual impact, flowing upwards to a central living and dining area and a private parents' suite, where you can enjoy a semi-outdoor shower and dry-off with the comfort of under-floor heating. The striking kitchen flaunts the results of a subsequent renovation with a honed marble countertop the perfect place to serve drinks or party platters. And then there's the rooftop terrace. Like a cool bar in one of the world's best cities with uninterrupted views of its landmarks, this rooftop offers both indoor and outdoor entertaining options. Settle in the built-in lounge furniture, cook up a storm on the barbecue as you pour a chilled glass of wine, and on a winter's night close the roof louvres, switch on the gas fire and down a warming red as the sun sets over the Watagans. Take advantage of secure undercover parking for two vehicles or leave the car at home with what lies on the doorstep: some of Newcastle's most celebrated attractions, beaches and parkland along with a vibrant cafe and shopping scene, west-end bound trams, and sought-after schools. - Ducted air-conditioning plus louvre windows providing beautiful crossflow - Three separate living areas with intercom system on each level - Recently renovated main bathroom and laundry with extra storage added, guest powder room - Stunning new kitchen with honed marble countertop, Corian benches, Ilve gas stove, integrated Siemens dishwasher, oodles of storage - Refurbished rooftop terrace with new glass balustrading, Renson roof opening system, electric heaters, gas fireplace, barbecue, wine fridge, built-in lounge seating - Panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Port Stephens, city, harbour and mountains - 220m to Newcastle East, Australia's oldest public school, 350m to Newcastle Grammar Outgoings: Council Rates: $3,016 approx. per annum Water Rates: $887.94 approx. per annum Dimensions: Internal Living Area: 294m² Rooftop: 99m² Carport: 54m² Total Living Area: 447m² This property is being sold under the Online Friendly Auction System.
