Cooks Hill 49 Railway Street
Stunning Redesign of a Classic Terrace on the Edge of Darby Street
One block from Newcastle's best eat-street on Darby Street, this classic Victorian terrace in a handsome row of eight flaunts a creative renovation and redesign that embraces the outdoors and reveals an intelligent use of space. Beautifully presented, the home transitions from traditional period charm to sleek modern style with a free-flowing layout that seamlessly connects to a private alfresco entertaining courtyard at the rear. Every detail has been carefully considered to deliver a home that is incredibly stylish and practical, from the built-in dining nook and ground floor toilet to the 1.5kw solar panels and a versatile attic retreat that makes a fabulous home office. Currently utilised as short-stay accommodation known as "Cooks Hill House", this terrace is perfect as a blue-chip investment or as an urban sanctuary for anyone wanting to live in the thick of the action.
