Built around 1924 and elevated above the street in heritage Cameron's Hill, this magnificent double brick home has lived several lives. Once divided into three flats, it has now been painstakingly brought back together, its original character restored with sensitivity and paired with a contemporary renovation that feels completely at home within its century-old walls.
Behind the Lincoln brick facade and decked front verandah, there's an immediate sense of peace and privacy. Step through the leadlight front door and find soaring 11ft ornate plaster ceilings rising above beautiful new Blackbutt floors. The reconfigured layout now delivers four bedrooms, a dedicated study and two superb bathrooms, each finished with carefully chosen tiles and quality fittings. At the heart of the home, the oversized lounge is a showpiece in its own right. A gas fireplace adds warmth, while a repurposed leadlight window featuring delicate pink ribbons draws the eye and gives the room a memorable point of difference. Bespoke craftsmanship continues throughout, with Hunter Wholesale Joinery responsible for the built-in robes, bathroom vanities and custom kitchen. Shaker cabinetry, stone benchtops, Siemens cooking appliances and integrated dishwasher and fridge/freezer bring a crisp contemporary edge without competing with the home's heritage character.
Then comes the surprise outside. Set across a substantial 842sqm parcel, the backyard feels remarkably private, with a large swimming pool and fresh landscaping creating a relaxed setting for long summer afternoons. There's a single garage, double carport that doubles as a covered entertaining area, and a generous motor court providing valuable extra parking. Fully gated, the entire block gives kids and pets plenty of secure space to play.
Right on the Hamilton border, the address puts some of Newcastle's most loved amenities within easy reach. Hamilton Public School and Gregson Park are just minutes away on foot, Beaumont Street's cafes, restaurants and shops are around 750m from home, and Broadmeadow Station is an easy walk for commuters. Honeysuckle and Bar Beach are both under ten minutes away, placing city dining, harbour life and the ocean comfortably within your orbit.
More than a renovation, this is the return of a grand old home to the single, beautifully resolved residence it was always meant to be.
