Last Listing description (January 2026)

Spacious and full of character, this classic 1939 apartment lies in the heart of the historic East End and offers an enviable coastal lifestyle only moments from the surf and sand. Its well-preserved Art Deco details give it a distinct edge over contemporary buildings, balancing timeless appeal with spaciousness and comfort.

Arriving up one easy flight of stairs (or via the lift), you're greeted by the proportions and presence of a graceful period home. The light-filled interior impresses with high ceilings, polished timber floors, and recently painted white walls, highlighting charming features like picture rails and refurbished sash windows. The generous layout allows for separate living and dining areas, with no need to downsize your furniture or compromise on comfort.

The kitchen is a true centrepiece with a mix of original and new. Generous in scale, it features a ceramic butler's sink, Italian tapware, extensive marble bench space, a large pantry, Bosch induction cooking and dishwasher drawer.

The bedroom and bathroom have been recently painted in moodier tones. The bedroom features soaring ceilings and a new ceiling fan. The bathroom blends classic and contemporary design, complete with a full-sized bath for unwinding. There are no common walls and all of the original sash windows have been refurbished. The bedroom has been double glazed by Thermawood, improving comfort and energy efficiency.

The entire 6th floor is a shared common area, offering sweeping 360 degree views across the city and harbour. There is a social hub, bike racks, washing machines, clothes lines and a welcoming space to catch up with friends or enjoy your morning coffee.

Positioned perfectly to enjoy East End's lifestyle, you're within easy walking distance of swimming spots including Newcastle Beach, the iconic Ocean Baths and Bogey Hole. Mornings may begin with an early surf or a dip in the ocean and coffee, before meeting friends for a relaxed lunch at QT or Momos. For entertainment, and in walking distance, is the Civic Theatre, the Comedy Club and soon to reopen Tower Cinema. Cafes, restaurants, shopping are all on your doorstep, with a Woolies Metro and local wine cellar only a short stroll away.

If you're seeking something special, with heritage appeal, generous proportions, and an unbeatable city-meets-coastal setting, this East End apartment is well worth your inspection.
