539 Hunter Street

Newcastle West NSW 2302

Own a part of Newcastle's history with this rare and unique opportunity, bring along your dreams and ideas because this place is full of potential! First up we have the ground floor which has been many things over the years including a Chinese herbalist and until 2013 the Shopfront Gallery, a contemporary artist-run space. Currently being used as an artists' space, the large main room, separate office with courtyard access, and galley kitchenette space are sure to ignite the imagination. The enclosed private courtyard could be turned into a lovely alfresco dining space or an outdoor workshop for your top-secret projects. On this level is also a toilet and outdoor shower room. Glimpses of the original wood floors, understairs cubby, and large window displays are sure to help you come up with some amazing ideas to restore this grand building to its former glory.

With private on-street access, 539A is located overtop the shop at the top of a large flight of stairs. Upon entering the apartment your breath is taken away by the extremely high ceilings and generous spaces. Two bedrooms overlook Hunter Street, a single bedroom, and a king-sized bedroom with a reverse cycle, both with wardrobes. The master suite is located at the back and has a wardrobe and ensuite. A large lounge room is given life and light through a skylight and flows around to the kitchen and dining space. The kitchen offers plenty of storage and bench space and looks out onto a small back verandah, with the main bathroom and laundry combo completing the property. With large windows through, this apartment is full of natural light and character.

Hunter Street has long been one of the main arteries of the city's life and is currently in the process of coming back to life after the closing of the train lines and the installation of the light rail. This property is sure to go quickly as it is located close to everything you could need from grocery shops, clothing shops, entertainment, events, Honeysuckle, and all of Newcastle's wonderful beaches. If you're looking for the ultimate lifestyle opportunity - to live above your business - this is the property for you!
