5/32 National Park Street

Hamilton East NSW 2303

Set on the second floor of a beautifully preserved Art Deco building, this two-bedroom apartment combines the character of its era with smart modern updates and one of Newcastle's most convenient inner-city locations. High ceilings, decorative cornices and the building's distinctive brick faade and beautiful staircase give it plenty of personality, while the spacious layout separates living, dining and sleeping zones in a way that feels practical and well considered.

The spacious lounge and separate dining room sit alongside an updated kitchen, while both bedrooms include built-in robes. The bathroom/laundry has also been stylishly refreshed. But the standout is the fabulous 12sqm sunroom stretching across the front of the apartment. Drenched in morning sun and looking across National Park Sportsgrounds, it's made for coffee with a view, but there's enough room here to create a home office, reading retreat, exercise space or a little of each.

Marketown is simply across the road for groceries and everyday essentials, Newcastle Interchange is around a 10-minute walk for trains to Sydney and the light rail to Newcastle Beach, while for dinner or drinks, Parry Street's Papalote is virtually on the doorstep and Honeysuckle's restaurants and bars are just 900m away. Ample visitor car parking is available, with additional non-metered parking conveniently located directly out the front.
