Originally designed by prominent Newcastle architect Frederick B Menkens and built 1906 as Charleston's Photographic Studio, Washington House forms part of the ground-breaking East End development. The bold re-imagining of this historic building strikes a perfect chord between classic elegance and innovative design in vibrant day-night setting between the city and the sea.
Shadow line ceilings, a soft, neutral palette and the extensive use of glass achieve a dynamic interplay of light and space inside this two-bedroom apartment with a highly functional layout separating the social spaces from the study and the sleeping quarters. A generously sized balcony forms a natural extension of the living area and both bedrooms, perfect for entertaining or relaxation with an outlook over the communal landscaped terrace gardens and vibrant piazza forming the cornerstone of East End. A sleek Smeg-appointed island kitchen and a pair of fully tiled shower bathrooms reflect quality and offer a seamless look and feel. A secure car space and storage cage add a fine finishing touch.
More than a home, this exciting new development guarantees a vibrant and exclusive lifestyle ringed by an outdoor piazza of bars, eateries and shops, with pristine surf beaches, Newcastle's iconic harbour and its rejuvenated city centre all on the doorstep.
