26 Charlotte Street

Merewether NSW 2291

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 Aaronsworthy pool terrace captures sea breezes and once played host to legendary parties that spilled from the two separate living areas into the coastal air.
