72 Newcomen Street, The Hill NSW 2300

Steeped in history dating back to 1856, and rich with charm, this semi-detached property has had several re-incarnations, at one time configured as two separate apartments. First time offered in 47 years, it still bears some of the beautiful hallmarks of its era including elegant leadlight windows and doors, tall crossbar ceilings, and eye-catching plate ledges. The prized location at the southern end of Newcomen Street gifts on the doorstep access to beautiful beaches and parkland, as well as wonderful city and ocean views. Now ready for a new custodian to love it as much as its last, the property offers a range of exciting possibilities to bring it into the 21st century. Consider a sympathetic, contemporary renovation, or reconfigure as a home with separate self-contained accommodation, or take advantage of the current layout and return to two individual apartments (STCA). Whatever you decide, you can't go wrong here given the sensational scope to add value in a location to love.

This walk everywhere address allows you to stroll down the hill and choose a different café every day for your morning coffee or bite to eat. Grab your towel and swimmers and run to the beach or Bogey Hole for a swim or surf. Jump on the light rail at Pacific Park to the west end or wander through King Edward Park or along the harbour foreshore to Honeysuckle. Lifestyle and Location!
