90 Newcomen Street, The Hill NSW 2300

A striking 2008 renovation by EJE Architecture has transformed this traditional double fronted cottage into a stylish, tri-storey home. Built c1866 high on the hill of Newcomen Street, it showcases a captivating fusion of period charm and contemporary style, cleverly designed to make the most of the 90sqm block and magical views across the city to the Pacific Ocean. Offering a choice of formal and casual living areas and outdoor spaces to relax or entertain alfresco, it's crowned by a wonderfully relaxing parents' retreat. It's enviably situated in this coveted precinct near the lifestyle attractions of Newcastle Beach, King Edward Park, the Anzac memorial walk and the crystal-clear waters of the Bogey Hole.
