From the kerb, this unassuming 3-bedroom weatherboard home sits neatly in its Tighes Hill streetscape, yet what lies beyond is a unique second dwelling sitting absolute waterfront overlooking Throsby Creek. A one-off bespoke design by architect Murray James, this amazing shipping container property, crafted over two self-contained levels, is made out of five steel containers.
On ground level, two side-by-side containers create a large workshop extended by a studio with its own bathroom, deck and courtyard. Upstairs, three containers and an extension form a 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom home with a large open plan living space, contemporary kitchen and laundry and a deck. This delightful alfresco spot looks out over the water allowing you to completely immerse yourself in the peace and serenity of your surroundings.
A property that is as stunning and unique as its location, glass maximises natural light while a mix of recycled materials, including the signature containers, have been cleverly used to create an industrial chic effect that's totally in keeping with its once blue-collar surrounds.
This inimitable waterfront dual occupancy is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will greatly appeal to investors seeking a lucrative return, families wanting to live in one home and rent the other, or those wanting to house multiple generations - but not necessarily in the same property.
Nearby you will find the very best Newcastle's inner city has to offer, an easy stroll to popular Tighes Hill Public School, Islington Park, the swing of Beaumont Street's cafes, trains and vintage shops and minutes from waterside walks to Honeysuckle, harbour and beaches.
