10 The Terrace, The Hill NSW 2300, Australia

Take your place amongst the beautiful period homes in one of Newcastle’s finest blue-ribbon streets fronting King Edward Park. 10 The Terrace, a charming semi-detached home built in the 1870s, has undergone a comprehensive restoration under the skilled hands and trained eye of some of the city’s finest artisans and craftsmen.

Formerly the residence of artist Rae Richards, every aspect of this three-bedroom, two bathroom home’s renovation has been meticulously addressed. From the weathered charm of rain hoops to the intricate craftsmanship of handmade sash windows, no detail has been overlooked. Original features such as shingles and marble fireplaces have been expertly restored or replicated to seamlessly blend with the home’s historic character. The same level of meticulous care extends to the private rear gardens, where a master stonemason was commissioned to restore and revitalise the brick and sandstone elements.

Step through the threshold into the sunroom, a tranquil spot for enjoying your morning cuppa while the sun peeks through the trees in King Edward Park. Adjoining the sunroom are lounge and dining rooms, each adorned with marble fireplaces; one now upgraded with a modern gas fire. Cedar French doors lead into the stunning Benton’s eat-in kitchen, boasting elegant stone benches, shaker cabinetry, and ample storage and prep space, all complemented by top-of-the-line appliances and a classic Butler sink.

The master bedroom on the ground floor offers a retreat-like ambiance, with its direct access to the sunroom, a spacious dressing room, and a full ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms provide quiet sanctuaries. One of these bedrooms features a beautifully restored dormer window with seat, perfectly framing views of the park and glimpses of the ocean beyond.

Living here means being part of an exclusive community that appreciates the unique beauty and history of this area. From here, a surf at Newcastle Beach, a sunset walk along the Anzac Memorial walk, coffee in Darby or Hunter Street, or a dip in the Bogey Hole, are all simply effortless.

Upgrades include: Bremworth wool carpet and new vinyl plank flooring, Ilve 6-burner gas stove, dishwasher, new mains power, new Colorbond roof and insulation, reglaze all windows, new a/c upstairs and down, 290L heat pump hot water, new storage shed.
