Last Listing description (June 2025)

Lovingly reimagined and beautifully maintained, this delightful Cooks Hill home is as pretty as a picture and ready to welcome its next lucky owners. Quietly unassuming from the street, it offers a calming presence that invites you in, then surprises you with its thoughtful design and quality finishes throughout.

Perfectly positioned just a short walk to everything you need, this home offers the ultimate inner-city lifestyle-think morning strolls to your favourite caf, evenings at the theatre, and weekends exploring Newcastle's vibrant cultural scene.

Step inside and you're immediately drawn down the hallway by the polished timber floors and high decorative ceilings. The two spacious front bedrooms are filled with natural light, thanks to oversized windows and plantation shutters, and include ceiling fans for year-round comfort.

Tucked between the bedrooms is the stunning main bathroom-a bright, modern space filled with texture and light from the large window, high ceilings and cleverly placed skylight. The oversized shower, freestanding bath, wall-hung vanity and sleek finishes make a statement here.

Continue down the hall and the home opens up into an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space that's stylish, functional and contemporary. A feature skylight adds warmth to the lounge area, complemented by the original ornamental fireplace and the home's pared-back architectural charm.

The kitchen is a dream for cooks and entertainers alike, with exposed beam ceilings, terrazzo floors, Caesarstone benchtops, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and a plumbed-in fridge. The breakfast bar is perfect for casual meals, and the adjoining dining area opens seamlessly to the private backyard via bi-fold doors-ideal for those who love to host.

Outside, the leafy rear courtyard is a hidden gem. Lush, borrowed landscape gives a sense of privacy and calm, with plenty of space for entertaining, relaxing or gathering with family and friends. There's also a handy storage shed/workspace and side access for bikes, boards or extra belongings.

Upstairs, the master suite is quietly set at the back of the home. Wake up to far-reaching views over the iconic Obelisk and Memorial Walk and enjoy cool sea breezes flowing through the louvres. With its own ensuite and generous walk-in storage extending into the roof cavity, this space feels like a peaceful escape from the everyday.

Whether you're a couple, a small family, or a savvy buyer seeking lifestyle and location, this home offers the perfect blend of charm, comfort, and convenience. Step out your front door and you're just 200 metres from Civic Park, the Art Gallery and the library and only 500 metres from the Civic Theatre, university precinct, and the soon-to-reopen Tower Cinema. With Darby Street, Hunter Street, and the East End close by-and Newcastle Beach just a five-minute drive or short tram ride away-your new life is full of possibilities.
