Mr Maxwell is marketing the double-fronted terrace at 79 Corlette Street in Cooks Hill. Built around seven years, the house was designed to maximise the 204.8 square metre corner block while also delivering a residence that was both in line with the suburb's heritage as well as one that embraced modern living.

The result is a light-filled, four-bedroom home. On entry level is a study or fifth bedroom, lounge, deluxe stone kitchen with a butler's pantry and expansive living and dining extends to internal alfresco entertaining. There is a lock-up double garage with access from Parry Street.

Four bedrooms are on the second level. Three are anchored by a main bathroom with the master suite in an opposite wing which is separated by a sitting space. There is a versatile loft on the top level.

The property is located within walking distance to shops, schools, parks, popular Darby Street cafes and restaurants, the Newcastle CBD and harbour.

It is open for inspection Saturday at 11am and set for auction on March 13.
