Overview

Spectacular coastal and city views, classic home with future potential

Auction Location: In-room Offered for only the third time since built, this classic c.1950s double brick residence claims a position many would argue captures some of Newcastle's most breathtaking views. Elevated high above the coastline with a prized northeasterly aspect, the panorama stretches from the city skyline to the ocean and all the way north toward Port Stephens. By day, almost every room soaks in blue water and sweeping district views, while by night the city lights shimmer below and spectacular moonrises lift over the Pacific like something straight from a painting. Beautifully solid and wonderfully original, the home was the very first built in one of Merewether's most tightly held streets. Designed to embrace its remarkable position, the aspect invites cooling nor'easterly breezes through summer while winter sunshine pours inside, filling the interiors with natural warmth and light. The layout offers three oversized bedrooms including a main bedroom with adjoining sunroom, formal lounge and dining rooms, a spacious open plan family living zone and an updated island kitchen. A study, full main bathroom and handy second w.c. add further practicality. Fresh décor and cosmetic updates would immediately lift the interiors, while the home's exceptional bones, wide 30.85m frontage and substantial 631.9sqm parcel also open the door to something far more ambitious. Renovate and reconfigure the existing floorplan, modernise the bathroom, or explore a full-scale transformation with a future upper-level addition designed to capture even more of the spectacular coastal and city outlooks (STCA). Positioned beside the endless walking trails and bushland beauty of Glenrock State Conservation Area and little more than a kilometre from Merewether Beach and the Ocean Baths, this is the kind of lifestyle where morning surfs, coastal walks and seaside dining become part of your everyday routine. - Approx block dimensions 30.85m / 28.95m X 27.72m / 16.13m – zoned R2 - Two off-street parking spaces on concrete pad - Deck and lawn for alfresco enjoyment - Split system a/c to family room and main bedroom - Merewether Heights Public – 1km, Holy Family – 1.1km, Newcastle High – 3.4km, Newcastle Grammar- 5km - The Junction – 2.7km, Westfield Kotara – 5km, Honeysuckle – 5.6km Disclaimer: We have obtained this property information from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
