Newcastle East 10/28 Stevenson Place

A unique opportunity to secure a fantastic warehouse conversion that's rich in history and has the whole of Foreshore Park, the harbour and Nobbys beach as its playground.

Dating back to the late 1800s, the David Cohen and Co Bond Store was established for the storage and distribution of heavy imported goods which were subject to duty. The store's proximity to the harbour and adjacent railway lines were critical to its early commercial success. As part of the ongoing Newcastle foreshore re-development in the 80s and 90s, the Bond Store was converted into 10 luxury residential apartments.

Beautifully updated with an open plan layout, a custom Miele appointed kitchen and two contemporary bathrooms, it's hard to believe this 3-bedroom residence is from another time. Yet look around and you will see it is bursting with original character from the exposed convict sandstock brick walls and arches as well as the raw timber columns, bearers and joists.

One of only two apartments positioned at the rear, the property's direct access off Foreshore Park allows you to wake to the sounds of chirping birds and the ships rolling in and out of the harbour.

Currently utilised as short-stay accommodation known as "Cohen's on the Park East", this apartment is perfect as a blue-chip investment or as a permanent home for anyone wanting a retreat in the thick of the action.

Walk out of your front door and see the harbour, wander into the city and Honeysuckle whenever you feel like it, swim and surf every day. The lifestyle benefits that come as part of the package cannot be beaten.
