There's something rather appealing about having Newcastle's favourite eat street right on your doorstep, where morning coffees, long lunches, dinner dates and a little boutique shopping can all happen on a whim. Positioned on the second floor of an established brick complex on Darby Street, this two-bedroom apartment puts you right in the thick of everything that makes Cooks Hill such a fabulous place to live. Harris Farm, Genesis Gym and Cooks Hill Medical Centre are all just a few steps from home, along with a fabulous mix of cafés, restaurants and bars. Newcastle Art Gallery and beautiful parkland are just a 10-minute stroll away, while you can be swimming or surfing at Bar Beach in just over 15 minutes.
Back at home, the elevated position gives you a lovely outlook through the treetops, bringing a sense of greenery and privacy that feels pleasantly removed from the activity below. A generously sized living and dining area opens onto a sunny balcony, where you can enjoy your morning cuppa or relax with a book. The electric-equipped kitchen is practical and functional, while two bedrooms, a full bathroom with both a bath and separate shower, and a dedicated carport take care of the essentials.
Held as an investment for 33 years and currently returning $550 per week, this apartment offers immediate rental income in a location that's always in demand. And for buyers thinking of making it their own down the track, there's plenty of scope to introduce some contemporary updates, add value and create a stylish inner-city home. With so much of Newcastle's best dining, shopping, culture and coastline within walking distance, it's a lifestyle that's pretty hard to beat.
