The facade of the property is constructed in dark face brickwork and is tuck-pointed. The front elevation features a decorative parapet that picks up on the motive found in the nearby Newcastle Ocean Baths, while the internal decoration is distinctly Federation Bungalow in style with a nod to the Art Deco era in which the home was built.
Highly decorated, the captivating interiors are backdropped by ornate plaster ceilings, handsome timber panelling, beautiful parquetry flooring, elegant light fittings and a gas-fitted fireplace, while banks of majestic leadlight windows are a prominent feature throughout. The home also enjoys the benefit of ducted air conditioning through out.
Adjoining lounge and dining rooms are at once formal spaces yet intimate for daily living with the softening inclusion of the stunning new kitchen balancing the classic architecture. Here stone bench tops, neolith splashbacks and high-end appliances come together in a fabulous display of luxe design, while an extra pull out drawer fridge provides a surprise touch. Two sets of French doors allow a seamless connection to a courtyard entertaining space and rear pedestrian access to Murray Avenue
Upstairs, 3-bedroom accommodation is generous and flexible for sleeping quarters or as extra living space. Check out the surf conditions from the new deck, which facilitates relaxation and cross ventilation from cooling sea breezes. The western verandah has been converted into an ensuite for the main bedroom with the blue stained-glass window a feature, Perrin and Rowe tapware and bathroom accessories and a striking Art Deco black and white tile pattern. In the main bathroom, the original cast iron bath has been restored and is the highlight of sympathetic period tiles and ceramic fittings.
The location of this home, opposite Parnell Place park and close to the planned new light rail, is undeniably superb. From here, an early morning swim or surf, a stroll along the break wall, a sunset walk along the harbour foreshore and coffee or dining in a nearby eatery are all simply effortless.
Wyn Court' was built c.1920 by the Wynne de Glorion family who were associated with the Victoria Theatre in Perkins Street, Newcastle. It was lived in by Adele (Dell) Wynne de Glorion, an actress, musical producer and campaigner for the protection of Newcastle East, up until 2011.
Truly a home of style, history and sophistication in a distinguished address.
