Newcastle East 17/66 Nobbys Road

Standing opposite the entrance to Fort Scratchley and almost equal distance from Nobby's Beach, Newcastle Beach and Newcastle Harbour this Federation Queen Anne Style terrace house (c1892) is offered for sale. The property is set within a row of 16 terraces known as Boatmen's Row. The properties were originally built to accommodate the heroic life boatmen involved in shipwreck rescues during Port Hunter's early days. The facade faces east to Nobbys Road and is a three storey construction with ground level access to the stunning rear courtyard.

This is a perfect opportunity to purchase then internally restore the character, charm, beauty and glory of the property. The current floorplan includes 3 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (main bathroom with harbour views) and dual living areas. This property is a rare opportunity in one of the most sought after locations.

The terraces have been separately titled. The row of terraces feature two central decorative bracketed gables and each terrace has a projecting bay window finished with shingles. The dwelling is contained within the Newcastle Urban Conservation area. Newcastle East is known locally as one of if not the most sought after suburbs in the region. Attractions include Nobby's Lighthouse, Newcastle Beach, Nobby's Beach, the Foreshore, the mouth of the Hunter River, Horseshoe Beach and the break wall. The area is ideal for activities including surfing, fishing, fine dining, night life, ship watching, whale watching, jogging, walking, and much more.
