A Grand Victorian Terrace with Harbour Views & History

Commanding a prized position in Newcastle’s historic east end, this beautiful c.1890 Victorian terrace, originally built for Sir Samuel Cohen of the David Cohen & Co family, stands as a rare testament to elegance, endurance, and timeless craftsmanship. Spanning four grand levels, it’s a residence of scale and stature, reimagined for contemporary living while holding fast to its 19th-century soul.

Inside, every room speaks of refinement: soaring 11½-foot ceilings, glowing honey-pine floors, and ornate fireplaces framing spaces made for gathering and retreat. The flow is graceful and practical. Living and dining anchored by a bright, modern kitchen on the entry level, three generous bedrooms and a luxe bathroom above, and a lofty top floor retreat with harbour glimpses crowning the home. Beneath, the sandstone-walled lower level tells its own story. Thick with history and beautifully adaptive, now a self-contained one-bedroom apartment with private access, ideal for extended family, guests, or Airbnb income.

Start your day with breakfast in the leafy rear garden or end it on the filigree verandah with a glass in hand, watching ships drift across the harbour and the lights of the historic Newcastle Club opposite. From here, you can walk everywhere that defines Newcastle’s best lifestyle. Grab a flat white at Good Brother, wander to QT for sunset cocktails, or follow the foreshore to the surf at Newcastle Beach.

Timeless elegance, flexible design, and an unbeatable position, this is where Newcastle’s history meets today’s lifestyle.
