116 Curry Street, Merewether NSW 2291

Award winning and much admired for its outstanding architecture and timeless sense of elegance, this magnificent home has been hand crafted by some of Newcastle's best architectural and artistic talents. An outstanding example of Victorian and Federation period style showcasing incredible detail and high levels of quality workmanship, it combines all the creature comforts demanded by today's modern lifestyle with generous proportions, striking living and alfresco spaces and an ambience rich in warmth and character. It's enviably located in a quiet family-friendly street within strolling distance of vibrant Merewether beach.

Spanning three beautifully appointed levels, the residence showcases an extensive use of sandstone, high ceilings, faithfully reproduced mouldings and cornices, rich New Guinea rosewood custom joinery, Karri select flooring and stairs, elegant light fittings and ornate etched windows.

A lush foregarden, sandstone stairs and wide tessellated verandah offer an inviting entry to the home. A large central foyer reveals a spacious office with a wall of bespoke shelving and cabinetry to one side and the formal lounge and dining rooms featuring a reproduction fireplace and magnificent crystal chandeliers to the other. At the rear, luxuriously spacious open plan family living, dining and chef's kitchen spill seamlessly outdoors to a sandstone entertaining area with alfresco kitchen and large serene Ozone swimming pool set into a formal sandstone surround with a bespoke water feature, convenient pool bathroom and verdant tiered gardens.

Four bedrooms and a three way family bathroom peacefully rest on the upper level. Air conditioning, a dumb waiter to each floor, built-in robes and a master bedroom with walk-in robe and ensuite continue the trend of modern convenience matched with the classicism of Victorian features. A deck off the master embraces the coveted northeasterly aspect and sparkling-at-night city views.

On the lower level is an ideal multli-purpose retreat with a spacious games room and kitchenette opening to a delightful garden terrace, fifth bathroom, generously proportioned laundry and oversized double automatic garage with motorbike storage area and separate gym.

This inspired home is positioned on an approximate 684sqm parcel in a prestigious lifestyle address.
