110 Church Street, The Hill NSW 2300

Auction Location: Level 2/16 Telford Street, Newcastle East & Live via Buy.Realtair.com

Steeped in history, character and design, this grand tri-level residence is a magnificent composition of period and modern styles backdropped by point blank views over Newcastle's iconic working harbour. Now known as 'Harbour View Manor,' the property was built in the 1860s originally as a single storey building thought to be an office for the Australian Agricultural Company's nearby mine. With previous incarnations as a gentlemen's club, boarding house, and bed and breakfast, it has undergone several renovations over the years, most recently with the addition of a fabulous rooftop terrace to take in the cinematic harbour and coastal views.

The coming to the market of Harbour View Manor offers a rare opportunity to be the next proud custodian and create another memorable chapter in this beautiful property's rich history. Its R3 zoning, six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including a self-contained lower-level apartment, lends itself to use as short stay accommodation. Alternatively, its magnificent proportions and elegant period features inspire thoughts of further restoration into a contemporary family residence befitting its stunning views and blue-ribbon location.

110 Church Street is a truly unique property that offers a blue-ribbon location and the experience of yesteryear with all the character and charm that follows from a history dating back to the 1860s.

The location is hard to beat with almost all of Newcastle's gems within easy walking distance. From here, a surf at Newcastle Beach, a stroll across beautiful King Edward Park to the Bogey Hole, coffee in Darby or Hunter Street, a cultural afternoon visit to the regional Art Gallery and Library or a drink or dining on the harbour are all simply effortless.

History
Purchased from the AA Company and built in the 1860s by Charles Bolton, an Alderman, Customs Officer and a Magistrate in Newcastle and for whom Bolton Street was named after. Upon his death, the property passed to his daughter Sidney Elizabeth Bolton who married Archdeacon Francis Dashwood Bode. The couple had four daughters and built the Menkens' designed 'The Boltons' for their children in front of the property. In 1923, the property passed to the Hamilton family for whom the inner-city suburb is named. Later philanthropist William Bowmore, thought to be among the world's top 200 art collectors and an honorary Doctor of Music at the University of Newcastle, purchased both 110 and 112 Church Street for use as a gentlemen's club and boarding house.
