Overview

Live in the Heart of the City, Walk Everywhere

City living doesn't get much more convenient than this. Positioned on the sixth floor of the Kevin Snell-designed Worth Place complex, this spacious three-bedroom apartment combines generous proportions with a location that puts Newcastle's best attractions within easy walking distance. The bright open plan lounge and dining area revolves around a stone-topped galley kitchen before spilling onto a north-facing balcony that becomes a natural extension of the living space, equally suited to entertaining friends or enjoying your morning coffee. Polished epoxy flooring gives the interiors a contemporary edge, while all three bedrooms enjoy elevated views across The Hill towards the ANZAC Memorial Walk. The main bedroom adds its own private balcony and ensuite, while a full main bathroom, secure car space and storage complete a floorplan that's equally appealing to owner-occupiers and investors alike. From here, you'll spend less time in the car and more time enjoying everything Newcastle has to offer. The light rail is at your doorstep for easy trips to Newcastle Beach and the Ocean Baths, while Honeysuckle's waterfront dining, the Civic Theatre, Newcastle Museum, Art Gallery, dining and everyday conveniences are all an easy stroll away. - North facing apartment with secure entry and parking space - Air-conditioned open plan living with epoxy flooring - Caesarstone kitchen with electric cooktop, under bench oven, dishwasher - All three bedrooms with built-in robes and ceiling fans, main with ensuite and balcony - Full size main bathroom with bath and shower, Euro laundry - Alfresco terrace offers approx. 16sqm of entertaining and relaxation space - 700m to shopping at Marketown and strolling distance to Honeysuckle and harbour - University of Newcastle city campuses on the doorstep - Jump on the light rail to the east end beaches and Newcastle Interchange - Water rates are approximately $800 per year - Council rates are approximately $1,650 per year - Strata rates are approximately $7,759 per year - Rental potential approximately $950 - $1,050 per week Disclaimer: We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
