Built in 1910 and affectionately known as “Ellecott”, this remarkable Federation residence was commissioned by Edward Merewether for his daughter. More than a century later, it remains one of Adamstown Heights’ most captivating homes, blending timeless character, thoughtful modernisation and a lifestyle that feels more like a private country estate than a suburban address.
Elevated above the street and nestled amongst beautifully established gardens, the home enjoys sweeping northerly district views, complete privacy and a wonderful sense of peace and seclusion. Native birdlife is a constant presence, creating a tranquil backdrop that makes it easy to forget you’re just minutes from Newcastle’s best amenities.
Behind its charming façade, rich timber floors, soaring ornate ceilings, decorative fretwork and beautifully proportioned rooms honour the home’s heritage. At its heart, a bespoke Sheldon’s kitchen combines craftsmanship with practicality, featuring 40mm stone benchtops, handcrafted solid timber cabinetry, quality appliances and a cleverly integrated European laundry. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for families, while four bedrooms and two bathrooms offer generous accommodation.
Designed for relaxed living and effortless entertaining, the outdoor spaces are truly special. The covered alfresco area overlooks a 12m heated magnesium pool, creating a resort-style retreat to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. Whether hosting family celebrations, entertaining friends or simply unwinding in the quiet surrounds, this is a home that encourages you to slow down and savour the lifestyle on offer.
Adding further appeal are rear lane access, secure parking, 4.3kW solar and extensive under-house storage.
Perfectly positioned, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds: the serenity and privacy of an estate-like setting, with Adamstown’s village shops, Westfield Kotara, the Fernleigh Track, Glenrock State Conservation Area and Merewether Beach all just moments away.
A rare opportunity to secure a landmark Federation home where history, privacy, nature and convenience come together in one exceptional offering.
