Originally built in 1920 for a Scottish Naval Captain, 'Bon Accord' is a beautifully preserved Edwardian-era residence that seamlessly combines rich heritage with a relaxed coastal lifestyle – all just a short stroll to Newcastle's best beaches, harbourside walks, and vibrant village cafes.
Set on a low-maintenance block in the tightly held Newcastle East, this freestanding two-storey home enjoys an enviable position with rare off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a charming rear courtyard, and sweeping views across the working harbour from its upper-level wraparound verandahs.
Inside, period character shines through high ornate ceilings, polished Australian hardwood floors, a statement cedar staircase and intricate fretwork. The flexible floorplan offers four or five bedrooms and/or two living spaces, with a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom ideal for guests, teens or multigenerational living.
Open-plan living and dining spaces flow through French doors to a front verandah, while the timber kitchen and meals area connect seamlessly to the private rear courtyard – perfect for morning coffee, evening entertaining, or just unwinding by the sea breeze. Secure rear lane access allows parking for up to four cars, in addition to a front car space.
Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom are joined by a light-filled living area, with several rooms opening onto the enclosed verandah where harbour views create a magical, ever-changing backdrop. There's even exciting potential to create an open rooftop terrace to further capitalise on these iconic views (STCA).
