191 Bruce Street

Designed by Shade Architects and completed in 2024, this striking residence brings together sculptural form, soft curves and beautifully crafted interiors to create a home that feels both architecturally bold and deeply inviting. From the street, the home's curved brickwork, layered textures and clean contemporary lines create a memorable first impression. Inside, natural light pours through expanses of glazing, illuminating warm timber floors, exposed brick feature walls and custom joinery that runs throughout the home. Every space feels carefully composed, balancing architectural drama with relaxed everyday comfort. At the heart of the home, a spectacular open-plan living and dining space unfolds beneath soaring ceilings, where a winter fireplace set against textured brick creates a warm focal point. The kitchen is designed as both a statement and a social hub, anchored by a stunning stone island with waterfall edges and generous seating. Integrated appliances, elegant cabinetry and thoughtfully designed storage keep everything beautifully streamlined, while rich timber accents add warmth and contrast. Just beside the dining zone, a dedicated cocktail bar with glass shelving and wine storage is made for entertaining, creating the perfect place to mix a drink as friends gather around the table. Large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, opening the living space to a covered alfresco that feels like an outdoor room. Complete with a built-in barbecue kitchen, heat lamps, ceiling fan and custom timber screening, it's designed for year-round entertaining. From long summer lunches beside the pool to relaxed winter evenings with the heaters glowing, this is where life naturally gathers. A separate media room offers the perfect retreat for movie nights or quiet relaxation. Accommodation has been thoughtfully planned for flexibility. A guest bedroom with ensuite on the ground floor offers the option of single-level living or a private retreat for visitors. Upstairs, the generous master suite is positioned for privacy, complete with a large walk-in robe, twin shower ensuite and private deck, while the remaining two bedrooms sit alongside the main bathroom and a third living area that creates a relaxed breakout space for families. A separate home office on the ground floor provides a quiet and practical work-from-home environment. The lifestyle here is every bit as compelling as the home itself. Start the morning with a swim or surf at Bar Beach, grab coffee at Hubro or an acai bowl from Oakberry, then keep daily errands easy with Harris Farm, Coles, Cooks Hill Medical and Genesis Fitness Club all within easy reach. When evening arrives, Darby Street and The Junction deliver Newcastle's best dining and bar scene just minutes from home. 461.6sqm block Ducted a/c, ceiling fans and cosy winter fire for climate control Security cameras Double garage with powder room Induction cooktop, two ovens, dishwasher, butler's pantry 19 rooftop solar panels The Junction Public 400m, St Joseph's Primary 400m, Newcastle Grammar 2.5km Disclaimer: All information provided by Presence Real Estate in the promotion of a property for either sale or lease has been gathered from various third-party sources that we believe to be reliable.
