Overview

Your Next Move.

With 2422sqm of prime land and a front-row seat to Newcastle's stunning coastline, this rare cul-de-sac address is pure coastal prestige. Held by the Scott family since 1966, the block commands a jaw-dropping 180° panorama, stretching north and east from the Watagan Mountains and Stockton sands to the glittering night skyline, Dixon Park, and Merewether's world-famous surf. There's an incredible sense of openness, space, and light here, where sunrises and moonrises steal the show, and migrating whales and playful dolphins put on a display you'll never tire of watching. Beautiful to live in, this five-bedroom, two-bathroom mid-century modern masterpiece, built by Neville Hines and inspired by Ken Woolley's Pettit + Sevitt designs, waits for a new custodian. Every element celebrates the era's love of form and function: split-level architecture, clerestory windows, exposed timber beams, timber-panelled walls, and rich Western red cedar features. Vast walls of floor-to-ceiling glass flood the principal rooms and every bedroom with natural light while giving each a view of the coast. Outside, a Slim Aarons–worthy pool terrace captures sea breezes and once played host to legendary parties that spilled from the two separate living areas into the coastal air. Landscaped by original owner Dennis Scott, the gardens cascade in terraced dry-stone walls inspired by the style of Ithaca, Greece, where his parents were born. It's a labour of love that's created a sanctuary for native birdlife and, back in the '60s, even a resident wombat. Whether you restore this mid-century gem to its glamorous prime or explore subdivision potential like a nearby precedent that delivered remarkable results (STCA), the scope here is as vast as the view. All just 1200m from the Ocean Baths, Merewether Beach, and a strip of seaside bars and eateries that define Newcastle's coastal lifestyle.
