…of the City, with a Newcastle address but within the vibrant Cook’s Hill community environment – walk out the front gate, down some steps and you’re on King Street and thence into the CBD, or around the corner to the pubs, shops and galleries in Bull Street or just down the road to Darby Street’s many attractions and festive vibe – this Victorian terrace has much to offer..

Proudly showing off its gutsy looking original red brickwork, the building has been renovated in the past, but retains the important period features such as polished floorboards, fireplace and stairs.

Enter via a paved front courtyard and find a friendly sitting room, through to kitchen, then on to laundry and finally bathroom with groovy retro 70s tiles.

Out the back a courtyard with roller door access from the wide rear lane can be used for outdoor living or car parking.

Upstairs are two bedrooms – the main has a large BIR and outside tiled balcony, which is rather private, veiled by the branches of the large tree in front with glimpses of the Town Hall not far to the east. From here one might hear the occasional note from the nearby Newcastle Conservatorium floating by…The second bedroom has a separate closet and looks out across to other terraces, palms, figs and frangipanis.

First home buyers looking to live in this exciting part of town and ‘do-up’ a classic – here’s your chance, or for investors – this would make an excellent pad for a couple of music students and an easy rental.
