Unit 4/20 Helen St, Merewether NSW 2291, Australia

Quietly set at the rear of a tightly held complex of just nine, this second-floor apartment gets the light, the outlook, and the lifestyle just right. Northeasterly sunshine pours in, while elevated views stretch from Strzelecki Lookout across the city skyline, turning into a glittering backdrop once the sun goes down. The wrap-around verandah is where it all comes together, catching cooling sea breezes and reminding you just how close the beach really is.

Inside, the layout keeps things easy and private. Two bedrooms with built-in robes sit away from the open plan living zone, joined by a smartly renovated bathroom with frameless glass shower and a separate w/c. The kitchen is practical and well placed for everyday living, with an internal Euro laundry and updated windows throughout adding to the comfort. A covered car space with storage behind neatly handles bikes, boards, and beach gear.

With Bar Beach and Dixon Park just 350 metres away, mornings start with swims, coastal walks and coffee from Sunnyboy Kiosk, while evenings drift between Darby Street and The Junction. It’s a lifestyle that feels relaxed, connected, and effortlessly Newcastle.
