118 Macquarie Street

Wrapped in greenery and alive with birdsong, this much-loved home leans right into its setting. Filtered district views flicker through the trees, while northerly light drifts across the interiors, bringing winter warmth and a soft, dappled glow year-round. The versatile dual-level layout gives you room to adapt as life evolves, while the wrap-around deck becomes your front-row seat to it all, a perfect spot for entertaining, unwinding, or simply soaking up the calm of the leafy surrounds. Lovingly held for almost 40 years, the home has grown alongside its owners, including an architectural renovation and extension completed in December '97, later featured in the Newcastle Herald Home Section. Now, it's ready for a new chapter. Set back from the street behind a double carport and storeroom, the home opens via double doors to a striking 5m ceiling. The parents' retreat sits privately with walk-in robe and ensuite, while three additional bedrooms share a spa bathroom. Living, and dining zones are oriented to the greenery, drawing the outlook in, with sliding doors opening wide to the deck. The island kitchen is generous and practical, with plenty of storage and prep space. Downstairs adds flexibility with a large rumpus, third bathroom and a home office or fifth bedroom. The tiered backyard offers space to roam, play or unwind among the trees. Merewether Beach is just six minutes away, with The Junction and Beaumont Street a little over 2km for cafés, shopping and essentials. Schools and the golf club are close by, rounding out a location that balances everyday ease with a genuine sense of retreat. - Dual level home on leafy 758.8sqm block with north facing rear aspect and district views - Split system a/c to parents' retreat and dining/kitchen - Caesarstone island with double sided storage, electric cooktop and wall oven, dishwasher - Main bathroom with shower over spa bath, master ensuite, third bathroom downstairs - Merewether Public School 700m, St Columba's 1.9km, Newcastle High 2.5km, Trinity Catholic College 3.3km - Beaumont Street cafes 2.5km, The Junction precinct 2.2km, Honeysuckle 4.2km
