306/185 Darby St, Cooks Hill is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Unit and was built in 2003. While the property is not currently for sale or for rent, it was last sold in December 2006.
Positioned above Newcastle's most celebrated dining and caf strip, this generously proportioned three-bedroom apartment puts the best of city living right at your doorstep. With spacious interiors, a practical floorplan and everything from morning coffee to evening dining just moments away, it's a home that offers both convenience and genuine liveability.
Secure entry and lift access lead to a light-filled third-floor residence where fresh dcor and new flooring have given the interiors an instant lift. Raked ceilings create a wonderful sense of openness in the living area, while clerestory windows invite streams of natural light throughout the day. A private balcony extends the living space outdoors, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind after work. The free-flowing layout includes a dedicated dining zone adjoining the granite-topped kitchen, creating a practical hub for everyday living and entertaining. Thoughtfully zoned bedrooms include a spacious main bedroom complete with ensuite and its own private balcony, while a full-size main bathroom comfortably services the remaining accommodation.
Two secure car spaces and a storage cage add further appeal, although chances are the car won't see much use. Aside from Darby Street's cafs, restaurants, bars and boutiques, you'll have Harris Farm, Bar Beach, Civic Park, the Newcastle Art Gallery and public transport all within easy walking distance. It's little wonder apartments in this location are so tightly held and rarely vacant because living here simply makes life easy.
