18 Tooke Street

Architecturally designed and completed in 2017, this dual-level home has been shaped around real family living. Its prized northeast rear aspect draws in beautiful natural light throughout the day, while lush gardens by Octopus Designs frame the home in layered greenery, creating privacy and a calm, almost retreat-like feel without losing that everyday connection to everything around you. The heart of it all is the kitchen. Designed by Nadin West, it's anchored by a 4.7m island that becomes the natural meeting point for quick breakfasts, after-school tea, long dinners that turn into late nights. Integrated Liebherr refrigeration and Siemens appliances keep everything streamlined, while glass sliders open the space right up to the alfresco, so living spills outside without a second thought. The layout has depth and flexibility. A formal lounge with marble fireplace offers a quieter place to reset, while the dedicated dining room and open plan family zone carry the pace of daily life. A home office, fifth bedroom or extra living zone, third bathroom, powder room and Euro laundry round out a ground floor that adapts as your needs shift. Upstairs, a second living area gives everyone space to spread out, connecting four generous bedrooms and the family bathroom, with one taking in elevated views across Merewether. The master steps things up again, finished with a huge dressing room that feels considered and an ensuite that's all about slowing things down at the end of the day. Outside, the mood softens. Entertain, unwind, or just sit back and take in the greenery. It's private, peaceful, and completely removed from the rush. And then you step beyond the front door. Bar Beach is just 500m away for a swim or surf. Harris Farm, Genesis Gym and medical centre sit 300m from home. The Junction and Darby Street are an easy walk for coffee, dinner or a drink whenever you feel like it. - Architectural design by Jodie Dixon - 551.4sqm block, northeast rear aspect - 3 marble tiled bathrooms + powder room - Ducted a/c throughout, gas fire in lounge room - Induction cooktop, wall oven, combi microwave, plate warmer, dishwasher, integrated f/f - Tandem garage under the home - Newcastle East Public 1.5km, Newcastle Grammar 1.8km - East End Village 1.7km, Honeysuckle 2.4km Disclaimer: We have obtained this property information from sources we believe to be reliable; however, we cannot guarantee its accuracy.
