Country Sanctuary in the Inner City
Originally built for the first Turnkey of Reservoir No 1 on the corner of Tyrrell and Brown Streets, this timeless circa 1880 property presents a rare opportunity to own a gorgeous piece of the city's early history.
Original Victorian details are a major feature of this magnificent home, adding character and charm throughout, from the filigree front verandah and 6" Baltic pine floorboards, to the tongue and groove ceilings, multiple fireplaces, and rustic beauty of the exposed sandstock brick internal walls. A previous
extension has added an open plan living, dining and kitchen area to the classic 2/3-bedroom floorplan with sitting room on entry.
Whether you want to love the property as is with its private rear gardens, carry out a sympathetic renovation, or take advantage of the wide block to add a garage or perhaps extend into the vast loft space at the rear (STCA), this prime property is hard to go past.
With a peaceful setting adjacent to Acacia Reserve and yet only a short stroll to Darby Street, this property offers endless recreation and dining options. Pack a picnic and head to King Edward Park or the Bogey Hole. Head to Newcastle Beach for an early morning swim or surf or explore Newcastle's coastal beauty with a brisk walk along the harbour foreshore.
