5/199 King Street

Sitting proudly above King Street since the 1930s, The Moorings is a handsome Art Deco residential building, rich in heritage character and local history. Designed by renowned Newcastle architect John Oldham and originally built to accommodate BHP's bachelor workers, it now offers an affordable opportunity to secure a foothold in one of the city's most walkable neighbourhoods. Comfortable as is, the north-facing studio features an integrated kitchen, a fully tiled bathroom, generous storage and a large picture window that welcomes natural light. Many apartments within The Moorings have already been thoughtfully modernised, offering inspiration for a cosmetic refresh or contemporary renovation that could add instant value while complementing the building's enduring Art Deco character. Step outside and you're moments from a gourmet sandwich at Arno Deli, the latest release at Tower Cinemas, exhibitions at Newcastle Art Gallery, picnics in Civic Park and the cafés, bars and restaurants of Darby Street. The harbour foreshore, Honeysuckle and Newcastle's beaches are all within an easy stroll, making this an address where the best of the city is always close at hand. -The 18-apartment building is an excellent reflection of early apartment living during the inter-war period -An ideal first home or investment in a tightly held landmark building -Kitchen with an electric stove -Bathroom with shower and space for washing machine -University of Newcastle city campus 450m, Civic Theatre 550m -East End Village 650m, Honeysuckle 900m, Newcastle Beach 1.2km * This information, including but not limited to photographs (which may show boundaries), copywriting, floorplans, and site plans, has been prepared solely for the purpose of marketing this property.
