Description: This majestic Edwardian residence was built in 1904 by the Gow family, owners of a prominent drapery business in nearby Beaumont Street. At that time the residence would have been one of the finest homes of its day and to this very day, stands as a testament to the quality of craftsmanship of that bygone era. "Fettercairn", is still noted as one of the most charismatic residences in the local and Newcastle area with striking street appeal. This residence will deliver an envious family home, or provide the ideal multiple family purchase that offers a myriad of potential home/business uses such as a bed and breakfast, home office or boutique function venue (STCA). No expense was spared in the construction of "Fettercairn", on inspection you will marvel at its authenticity. The property's rich history and intricate detailing is still very evident and in immaculate order. This magnificent mansion-style residence boasts ornate brick and decorative wrought-iron lacework. Inside, six working fireplaces with marble surrounds grace the grand bedrooms, dining area, and living spaces. The tall casement windows, adorned with vintage coloured glass, flood the interior with abundant sunlight, beautifully enhancing the pressed metal ceilings. The 6-inch-wide kauri pine floorboards, complemented by extra-wide skirtings and architraves, complete the elegant ensemble of this splendid home. The home includes a practical eat-in kitchen with modern range and two updated bathrooms (the main with claw foot bath). While the home is currently configured as six bedrooms and a study, the flexible floorplan offers buyers the opportunity to tailor it to their own needs. In the backyard of the 1,033 square metre land holding, you could be forgiven for thinking you are in the country. As you step onto the brick paved courtyard, the expansive lawns unfold before you, creating the perfect urban oasis for your children or grandchildren to safely play or perfect for garden party entertaining. The crowning jewel of this wonderful yard is a thriving, large Hass avocado tree, its branches ready to deliver its new owners with fruit, nourished by the chicken coop beneath. The property's bore water pump and fertile soil will additionally inspire garden enthusiasts to cultivate their own fruit and vegetables here. This could truly be some families forever home and lovers of period architecture are sure to be impressed.
