40C Gipps Street, Carrington, NSW 2294

Auction Location: Fort Scratchley Function Centre | 1/3 Nobbys Road, Newcastle East NSW 2300

Tucked away in the coveted ?Palms? precinct of Carrington's distinctive streetscape, this bespoke reproduction home effortlessly blends reclaimed vintage elements with a thoughtfully designed, luxurious layout. Rich with echoes of history, it pays homage to the quintessential features of early Australian architecture ? soaring ceilings, expansive living spaces and bedrooms, intricate plasterwork, sash windows, and wide skirting boards ? each contributing to the home's timeless appeal.

Step onto the front verandah, framed by vibrant flowering camellias, creating an idyllic retreat for sunset drinks on the terrace. As you enter, a generous open floor plan unfolds, where the expansive formal living and dining flows seamlessly into the adjoining family room and an elegant, custom-designed French Provincial kitchen ? outfitted with no expense spared. Picture marble benchtops on a sprawling island, a porcelain farmhouse sink, and premium appliances, including a Miele dishwasher and 900mm Smeg electric oven with gas cooktop. The adjoining butler's pantry/wine cellar offers added functionality, while the family room, complete with a wood-burning cast iron fireplace, promises cozy nights by the fire during the cooler months. Strategically placed windows throughout this level bathe the home in natural light and amplify the sense of openness and space.

Ascend the staircase to find three softly carpeted, robed bedrooms, including a king-sized master retreat with ensuite and walk-in robes. Each of these rooms opens onto a balcony, perfectly positioned to enjoy either the sunrise or sunset. At the heart of this level is a lavishly appointed bathroom, reminiscent of a high-end spa, with elegant tiling, a sublime freestanding bath and an ornate vanity with twin sinks. A further set of stairs leads to a loft, ideal as a living area or fourth bedroom, where cathedral ceilings soar, and seven Velux windows provide light and catch the coastal breezes. Windows at either end frame picturesque views ? one across the urban landscape toward distant mountains, the other to the harbour, where you can watch ships drift serenely into port, their outlines softly illuminated at night by strings of lights.

Back downstairs, a wall of French doors concertina open to reveal a lush, soft lawn and adjoining travertine-tiled barbecue area ? an expansive and seamless entertaining space. Here, guests can effortlessly wander between the main house and garden, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of this private sanctuary. The yard, with a side gate to Hargraves Street, is completely shielded from view by tall fences and is perfect for children and pets to play under the watchful eye of their parents inside.

At the rear of the garden, with its own street frontage from Hargraves Street, stands ?The Coach House? ? a versatile living space perfect for a home business, guest accommodation, or private retreat. Appointed with luxurious fixtures, it features an elegant, tiled bathroom and open plan living across two levels. The spacious loft offers ample room for both work and relaxation, and the unit is further enhanced by sash windows, cathedral ceilings, Juliet balconies, and its own split-system air conditioning for year-round comfort.

Carrington Village is a vibrant, connected community with a thriving local scene. Enjoy an abundance of fabulous eateries, a local grocer, and lively gathering spots like the Fairmont Diner, Young Street Hotel and Seven Seas, as well as the Bowlo, where locals meet for a laid-back Sunday afternoon. The home is a short walk to the village heart, Carrington Public School, and extensive walking and cycling trails. Newcastle's lively CBD, beautiful beaches, and iconic harbour precinct are just minutes away, ideal for sun-soaked summer days and energetic nights out. Locally, Moa's artisan coffee is just 200 metres away, Frenchies, the latest culinary hotspot, is only 350 metres away, and the renowned Earp Distillery and Newy Park Run are also nearby. For dog-lovers, the Carrington off-leash dog park is two streets over.
