12/113 King Street

Set on the fourth floor of Y Apartments, the former Newcastle YMCA, this is one of those homes where the sense of space hits you straight away. The 9ft square-set ceilings give it real volume, something newer builds often miss, while three robed bedrooms are tucked into their own private wing, including a main with ensuite, alongside the family bathroom. Holding a prized northwest corner position, the outlook is a constant drawcard. Watch the Stockton ferry glide across the harbour and settle in for sunsets that never really get old. Three awning windows frame the water perfectly from inside, best enjoyed from the kitchen island while you cook. Open-plan living spills out through two sets of bi-fold doors to the alfresco terrace, complete with motorised blinds so you can dial up or soften the sun as needed. Across the road, the rooftop garden at East End Village's Perkins & King building brings in a leafy, green backdrop, while ducted a/c keeps everything comfortable year-round. You've got two side-by-side car spaces (one with over-bonnet storage), though you'll likely leave the car parked more often than not. Woolworths Metro is just across the road, with Oh My Papa! and QT close by for an easy dinner or drink. From there, it's an easy wander to the harbour foreshore, Honeysuckle, Nobbys Beach, or head east and you'll be at Newcastle Beach in under a kilometre. King Edward Park is up the hill, Tower Cinemas is a five-minute stroll, and the light rail at Crown Street links you straight to the Interchange for a trip to Sydney. - 'Y Apartments' is a secure building with lift access, boutique complex of just 17 - Spacious open plan living and dining with seamless connection to alfresco terrace - Island kitchen with stone benches, Smeg gas cooktop and oven, updated Miele dishwasher - All 3 bedrooms with built-in robes, 2 x robes to master, one with optional Murphy bed - Master ensuite and main bathroom both with shower, laundry room - Two side by side parking spaces, one with over bonnet storage - Stroll to Darby Street, Honeysuckle, University of Newcastle city campuses, Newcastle and Nobbys beach, Newcastle Ocean Baths, East End Village, King Edward Park - Water rates are approximately $750 per year - Council rates are approximately $1,771 per year - Strata Fees are approximately $9,556 per year - Rental potential of $1,200 - $1,300 per week Disclaimer: We have obtained all information in this document from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
