Last Listing description (July 2026)

Sitting proudly above King Street since the 1930s, The Moorings is a handsome Art Deco residential building, rich in heritage character and local history. Designed by renowned Newcastle architect John Oldham and originally built to accommodate BHP's bachelor workers, it now offers an affordable opportunity to secure a foothold in one of the city's most walkable neighbourhoods.

Comfortable as is, the north-facing studio features an integrated kitchen, a fully tiled bathroom, generous storage and a large picture window that welcomes natural light. Many apartments within The Moorings have already been thoughtfully modernised, offering inspiration for a cosmetic refresh or contemporary renovation that could add instant value while complementing the building's enduring Art Deco character.

Step outside and you're moments from a gourmet sandwich at Arno Deli, the latest release at Tower Cinemas, exhibitions at Newcastle Art Gallery, picnics in Civic Park and the cafs, bars and restaurants of Darby Street. The harbour foreshore, Honeysuckle and Newcastle's beaches are all within an easy stroll, making this an address where the best of the city is always close at hand.
