In the heart of historic Newcastle East, footsteps from Fort Scratchley and the ocean front at Nobbys Beach, this exquisite c1915 solid brick home shines brightly from a meticulous five year restoration. Originally designed by architects Nigel Pitt and Edward R Merewether, the home has been sympathetically renovated from the below ground floor flooring to the chimney pots and level three roof. Its original architectural beauty blends seamlessly with family functionality creating a context for contemporary life that will endure far into the future.
Whisking you away on a journey of timeless grace and traditional charm, this three storey home honours its heritage with restored period features, including the formal staircase, tall plaster ceilings, ornamental fireplaces, and elegant leadlight doors and windows. Amongst the creative spectrum of bespoke elements throughout this home is a genuine sense of comfort and continuity. Christian Lacroix wallpaper from the 'Stravaganza' collection hangs from levels one to three forming a statement on the western wall atrium/staircase.
Architect Jason Penhall and Designer Jadine Penhall, of Manakin Design, along with builders, Buildingwise Ltd, were driven by the guiding principles that saw the interior modernised by opening level two to flow easily from east to west. The reception level on entry has been re-engineered to allow for open plan living flowing from a private reception room through to dining, and a stunning BozDesignz kitchen and substantial butler's pantry.
Level three offers three generously sized bedrooms, each providing ample space for relaxation. The stunning family bathroom is adorned with a back-to-wall bathtub and elegant fluted glass shower, ensuring a luxurious bathing experience. Additionally, a delightful sunroom is perfectly suited for use as a home office or playroom. From this cosy haven, you can bask in the warm glow of the morning sun, while being treated to a captivating view of Parnell Place Park, Fort Scratchley, and the sights of Newcastle Harbour. Occasionally, the distant sound of foghorns adds a touch of enchantment to the atmosphere.
On the lower ground floor, the master suite, featuring a large bedroom, dressing room and exquisite ensuite with underfloor heating has been created from the original kitchen, pantry, shower, laundry, and maid's room. Also on this level, the library with French doors opens onto the renovated eastern courtyard.
The south-western paved courtyard is a delightful spot for hosting a lively soire or indulging in a moment of tranquillity amidst vibrant and meticulously curated planter boxes that burst with an array of colours.
The historic neighbourhood itself plays a starring role in the allure of this home. Open the front door and turn left to Nobbys Beach, or right to the Cowrie Hole, Ocean Baths, or Newcastle Beach. Enjoy easy access to fine local cafes and restaurants, and just around the corner, jump on the light rail through the city centre to Newcastle Interchange. The address is in the catchment zone for prized Newcastle East Public School and is just 1km from Newcastle Grammar.
