Landmark Terrace with DA Approved Plans for Dual Occupancy

Instantly recognisable as a landmark building on the corner of Metcalfe Street, this property is steeped in history originally the site of the New Ballarat Hotel, c.1875 and later in the 1930s, the H.C. Harris Chocolate Factory. More recently, the home's current owner ran a dance studio from here. A classic terrace style home, it has a versatile dual storey floorplan, plus a cellar, offering a mix of past and present characteristics – in particular the stunning pressed tin walls and ceilings will catch your eye. Already DA approved for a dual occupancy, this house and land parcel offers exciting scope to capitalise by modernising and adding value to the existing home and acting on plans to build the second dwelling. From here, there is instant access to arterial roads to the city and freeway, it's an easy stroll to Wallsend town centre and the University of Newcastle and John Hunter Hospital are both less than 10 minutes' drive away.
