29/161 Scott Street

One of only two residences occupying the seventh floor of the landmark Menkens building, this is penthouse living on a scale rarely seen in Newcastle. Fully customised from the original off-the-plan design and offered for the first time ever, the residence unfolds across an extraordinary 539sqm* on title, with house-like proportions, 10ft ceilings and a level of privacy and permanence that feels worlds away from the ordinary. Wrapped in approximately 155sqm* of alfresco space, the balcony traces three sides of the building. To the north, views sweep across Fort Scratchley, Nobbys and the harbour to Stockton, while three of the bedrooms wake to the timeless silhouette of the Christ Church Cathedral. A covered roof brings flexibility to the terrace, letting you follow the sun in winter or create shade for long lunches and evening entertaining. Every principal room connects directly outdoors. The immense open plan living area with fire place, formal dining room, library with adjoining study, and all four oversized bedrooms spill onto the terrace, giving the home a natural flow between inside and out. Whether hosting on a grand scale or enjoying a quiet morning coffee above the city, the connection to the view is constant. Practicality hasn't been overlooked either, with three side-by-side car spaces and extensive storage. Residents enjoy a heated lap pool, sauna and gym, along with a welcoming, close-knit community. Morning swims, daily bike rides, harbour walks, celebrated dining and neighbourhood cafés are all moments away, while the light rail at street level links you effortlessly through the CBD to Newcastle West and the Interchange. And when New Year's Eve arrives, there's no need to join the crowds below, the fireworks come to you. - Secure building with cameras, lift access and resort amenities - 300m to East End Village, shops, Woolies Metro, dining and QT Hotel - 100m to Stockton Ferry Wharf and Light Rail Station at your door step - 650m to Darby Street shops and dining, 850m to Honeysuckle Entertainment Precinct Outgoings: Council: *$2,342pa Water: *$804pa + usage Strata: *$23,524pa * approximates only (We have obtained all information used in the preparation of this document from third party sources however, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or currency of this information.
