PRIVATE TREATY
Positioned to capture its elevated coastal setting, this beachfront residence takes in long views extending north toward Nelson Bay and south toward Nobbys Headland. Since its original completion, the home has undergone a comprehensive program of improvement, with significant investment across its interiors, outdoor spaces and amenity.
The residence prioritises ease of movement and long term adaptability. From the front gates, everyday living unfolds predominantly across a single level, bringing the kitchen, living, dining and outdoor entertaining spaces together without the need to navigate stairs. Four bedrooms are positioned on the lower level, while the upper floor is given over to the primary retreat and a second living area, creating a clear sense of separation between family accommodation and the more private spaces above.
The kitchen sits at the centre of the home, bringing together natural stone, warm timber and integrated appliances within a carefully considered composition. A generous island anchors the room, framed by custom cabinetry and a walk-in pantry that keeps the more practical elements discreetly contained.
Warm timber and stone carry into the adjoining living and dining areas through bespoke seating, integrated storage and cabinetry, creating a quiet continuity from one space to the next. Clear sight lines extend to both the front and rear outdoor areas, allowing family life to move easily between inside and out. Bespoke in its detail and restrained in its finish, the kitchen functions as both the practical centre of the home and a natural gathering point within it.
The pavilion extends directly from the kitchen, with a north facing orientation that draws light into the space and creates a natural continuation of the home. Stone from the kitchen is repeated across the outdoor island, while Tasmanian oak lines the walls and brings warmth to the more robust finishes. A full length barbecue bench incorporates refrigeration, a beer tap and integrated storage, giving the space the same level of resolution as the interior.
Further into the garden, a sunken fire pit creates a second outdoor setting at a different scale, while an outdoor shower adds another practical layer to the home's coastal character. Lower and more informal, the fire pit offers a quieter place to gather beyond the covered pavilion, extending the way the garden can be used through the evening.
Stockton occupies a distinctive position between the Pacific Ocean and Newcastle Harbour, with the broad expanse of Stockton Beach defining its eastern edge. Here, light, outlook and proximity to the water shape the experience of the home.
The site extends between Mitchell Street and a rear access laneway, creating an elongated allotment with access from both sides. Living spaces engage with the outdoors, while more private areas are deliberately separated, balancing openness with retreat. Rear access leads directly to the garage adjoining the property, adding another layer of practicality to the way the home is entered and used.
Directly opposite the residence, City of Newcastle is undertaking a major renewal of the Mitchell Street rock seawall as part of its broader Stockton Coastal Management Program. Works commenced in April 2026 along the approximately 600 metre structure, with completion targeted for early 2027.
The project will reinforce the seawall with more than 8,500 tonnes of new rock armour, repair and strengthen existing components and raise the crest to approximately six metres AHD to reduce wave overtopping and coastal inundation. The renewed structure is being designed with climate change and sea level rise in mind and is expected to extend the seawall's design life to around 50 years.
City of Newcastle identifies the seawall as an important protection structure for Mitchell Street, surrounding utilities and adjacent residential properties, while also forming part of the longer term strategy for Stockton's coastline.
