One of Newcastle's Most Beautiful Art Deco Homes on a Rare Double Block

A masterwork in Art Deco style and architecture flaunting all the romance and elegance of the era, breathtaking 'Palo Alto' c.1935 will steal your heart.

A treasured home of the Fitzgerald family since 1961 and now offered for only the second time, the exquisite 4-bedroom home is presented in stunning condition with its superb features preserved for the future custodians of a peerless Newcastle property.

Positioned on a rare double corner block totalling 1,156sqm with 41.15m along to Kemp Street, the blue-ribbon location leaves you spoilt for choice with several sought-after schools in the vicinity and a number of cafes and shops at nearby Beaumont Street and The Junction. Marketown, the beach, city and harbour are all an easy stroll or bike ride from home.

Originally built for William Herbert, an American who brought talking pictures to Newcastle and was the owner of three of the city's picture theatres, it's clear to see the home's close association with the glamour and charm of old Hollywood and cinema.

Terrazzo steps lead to a tessellated tiled front verandah with sandstone pillars and boundary fence. Offering up a visual feast, the property takes you on a journey of an Art Deco palette, geometric patterns, bold motifs and a sumptuous mix of textures and materials.

Patterned Canite acoustic panels line the impressive hallway on entrance, while above, your eye is drawn to the beautiful ornate plaster ceilings with geometric borders. Matching wall sconces and crystal chandeliers add a sense of drama. Every window in the home is lead lighted and intricate French doors open to reveal grand formal lounge and dining rooms showcasing a pair of eye-catching fireplaces and custom Maple cabinetry.

Step back in time to the original timber kitchen with leadlight cabinetry. Leaving a lasting impression, the family bathroom pays perfect homage to Art Deco style with its orange and black tiling, chrome fixtures, terrazzo floor and an original rainmaker shower over the bath.

Ducted air-conditioning and a double garage with electric door add modern functionality to an incomparable family home where everyday living is both privilege and a pleasure.
