Dating to circa 1868 and holding a commanding corner position at Queen and Dawson Streets, this grand freestanding terrace delivers something genuinely special for Cooks Hill: remarkable space, a large private north-facing garden and secure parking for two cars, all within footsteps of Darby Street and Newcastle Art Gallery. Behind its handsome brick façade, tall ceilings, ornate plasterwork, pressed metal detailing, timber floors and multiple fireplaces speak to its history, while the sheer scale of the rooms makes this a home a modern family can really grow into.
Across three substantial levels, this is a home with room to really spread out. Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three living areas and dedicated dining give family life plenty of breathing space, with the option to claim one living room as a home office or extra bedroom. The renovated kitchen anchors the ground floor, while French doors open the home to its private north-facing garden and covered terraces. Leafy, secluded and surprisingly large for such a central address, there's space for long lunches, summer dinners, kids and pets, or simply escaping the city without leaving it. Three large bedrooms occupy the first floor alongside a renovated ensuite and family bathroom, with one opening through French doors to the traditional lacework verandah and leafy outlook. Then there's another level entirely. The loft-style fourth bedroom crowns the home with excellent storage and views across rooftops to Anzac Memorial Walk.
Best of all, this much space doesn't come at the expense of the Cooks Hill lifestyle. Leave both cars securely at home and walk almost everywhere. Darby Street puts coffee, restaurants and wine bars around the corner, Newcastle Art Gallery and Civic Park are mere footsteps away, and the harbour, East End Village and Bar Beach are all within easy reach. Spend the morning at the beach, wander home for lunch in the garden, then head out for dinner without giving parking a second thought.
