Overview

Put simply, timeless charm meets award-winning design

Auction Location: On site Starting life as a classic Art Deco semi, this striking two-storey home has been transformed into an architectural showpiece through a standout collaboration between Space Design Architecture and award-winning Orton Building (HIA winner, 2018). The front stays true to its 1920s roots, with ornate plaster ceilings, coloured glass windows, and an elegant gun-barrel hallway setting the tone. Step deeper and the home shifts gears where a striking glass ceiling links old with new, flooding the living area with natural light that dances off polished concrete floors. Thoughtfully crafted joinery by Lathams Kitchens runs throughout, from the statement island kitchen to custom robes in all three bedrooms. The original fireplace stars in a luxurious main bathroom, joined by a freestanding tub and frameless shower. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a peaceful sanctuary with a/c, ensuite and leafy views across Cooks Hill rooftops. Tucked behind a secure electric gate, the home also features a private entertainers' courtyard and secure off street parking, 4kw solar, and double glazed, tinted windows for comfort year-round. In one of Cooks Hill's most walkable pockets, you're just 200m from Darby Street's eateries and shops, with green space and bowls at Lowlands and Centennial Park just around the corner, and 15 minute stroll to the golden sands of Bar Beach. - Architecturally renovated semi introduced by low maintenance garden and tiled porch - Light-filled living with polished concrete floors, a/c and winter gas fire - Island kitchen with stone benchtops, integrated Siemens dishwasher, double ovens and Electrolux gas cooktop - Pull down attic ladder to loft storage space - Rear access to secure carport with additional parking allowed in laneway - The Junction Public & St Joseph's Primary – 1.4km, Newcastle High – 1.4km, SFX – 1.6km Disclaimer: All information provided by Wilton Lemke Stewart in the marketing of a property for sale or lease has been sourced from various third-party outlets that we deem reliable.
