With the green expanse of National Park directly opposite, this distinguished c.1923 Cooks Hill residence pairs a beautiful open outlook with all the character of its era and thoughtful updates for modern life. Fully double-cavity brick with restored tuckpointed walls, the three-bedroom home is rich in original detail, from ornate ceilings and decorative leadlight to fretwork and generous room proportions. Two renovated bathrooms, a contemporary kitchen and extensive custom storage add to the appeal, while Darby Street, Harris Farm and Genesis gym are just 500m away and Bar Beach is 1.3km from the door for a morning swim or after-work surf.
The single-level layout gives you separate living and dining rooms, a sunroom and a smartly renovated kitchen with quality appliances and storage at every turn. A private walled courtyard catches the sun and offers a lovely spot for alfresco dining or morning coffee. Ducted reverse-cycle air-conditioning and gas heating keep things comfortable year-round, while the freestanding garage fronting Tooke Street comes with an unexpected extra. Above, a loft retreat is currently set up as an office, giving you valuable separation for working from home, hobbies or simply more space to spread out.
National Park becomes an extension of your front yard, with acres of green space and sporting facilities directly across the street, while Newcastle Grammar's Park Campus is on the doorstep. Wander to Darby Street or The Junction for coffee, groceries, dining and shopping, head to the beach, or walk into the city and Honeysuckle for restaurants, bars, arts and entertainment.
Beautifully preserved, cleverly updated and brilliantly placed, this is Cooks Hill living with history, space and the city's best bits all close at hand.
