Designed by prominent Newcastle architect Brian Suters in 1974 as his own home, this magnificent four-level terrace with rooftop entertaining area is a superb example of Bauhaus design. Winning multiple awards including the Blackett Award for Architecture in 1980, this dream home takes modernist style, the surrounding environment, and the functionality you’d expect from an architect designed residence and delivers a truly unique property.
Fresh from a sympathetic restoration, this home is ready to wow a whole new generation.
Distinct architectural features synonymous with modernist Bauhaus design are on proud display throughout this incredible residence. Geometric forms, exposed brick circular walls, Waffle pod slab concrete ceilings, and an abundance of glass to take in the views and add natural light, while pipe and perspex balustrading delivers a sense of openness into the home.
A choice of living areas and two contemporary new kitchens are complemented by an unexpectedly deep rear garden, and west and east facing verandahs where you can watch the sun rise and set each day. Complete with first floor bedrooms and a bathroom in addition to three upstairs bedrooms/study and second bathroom, this is a property perfectly engineered for independent living zones and work from home arrangements.
Although there is so much to love about this architectural treasure, the refurbishment of the rooftop terrace is perhaps its crowning glory. Ascend the red spiral staircase and what must rank amongst one of the best views in Newcastle is revealed. The cinematic 360-degree vistas take in all the city’s jewels including Nobbys headland, Christ Church Cathedral, and the working harbour, as well as the suburbs and mountains beyond. This spectacular entertaining zone and its amazing scenery could transport you to anywhere in the world – knowing (of course) you are in the best place you could possibly be.
The property’s appeal isn’t just based on its striking architecture. The Hill is centrally positioned within walking distance of the city’s key attractions. Stroll to Darby Street for bustling bars, charming boutiques, and endless dining options. Pack a picnic and head to beautiful King Edward Park or the Bogey Hole. Grab your board and towel and head to the beach for an early morning swim or surf or explore Newcastle’s coastal beauty with a brisk walk along the harbour foreshore to Nobbys beach and the breakwall.
