In the dynamic heart of inner-city Newcastle, this second floor apartment, in the prestigious Fabric House complex overlooking Lyrique Lane, is sophisticated and central. Meticulously renovated by Durbach Block Jaggers, this building retains its divine 1930s exterior but has imbued with sleek modern style. Bleached blonde timber floors, elegant curved picture windows and modern neutral colours combine to create a coastal city aesthetic. Views to the boutiques and cafes of Lyrquie Lane, tropical gardens and other elegant buildings flaunt this apartment's inner urban position and emphasises the village vibe. The uber-modern kitchen features Smeg appliances, sleek cabinetry with an integrated fridge, microwave and dishwasher and stone topped counters. This designer kitchen opens onto the open-plan and light-filled dining and living space, and this area in turn flows to the balcony. A chic bathroom boasts an over-sized shower, backlit vanity, and the master bedroom, with built-in closet and picture window, is the perfect spot for a lazy Sunday lie-in as you watch the world go by. It will take no time for the baristas at Mister Sister to know your coffee order and you are just steps from the divine Oh My Papa for a mid-week modern Asian feast.
