Built around 1880 and designed by prominent Newcastle architect Frederick Menkens, it is the first time this property at 66 Church Street has been offered to market since 2004.
The home has generous proportions, formal and informal living and dining spaces and in total around 300 square metres of internal living. It has a grand facade, polished pine floors, high ceilings, multiple fireplaces, French doors and lacework verandahs. There are three bathrooms, four oversized bedrooms and an industrial-inspired kitchen with stainless steel topped island bench.
"Early enquiry has been really strong," First National Newcastle City's Tom Lemke said. "There's always an aura around The Hill and these iconic homes. Because it's on a corner, you could potentially get a car off the street with a garage underneath, subject to council approval."
It is walking distance to Newcastle East Public School, Newcastle Grammar School, beaches and King Edward Park.
It is being marketed by First National Newcastle City's Tom Lemke and George Rafty with a guide of $2.1 million to $2.3 million and is set for auction on site on April 4.
It is open for inspection Saturday from 1pm until 1.30pm.
