If you’re looking for your next renovation project in a blue-chip coastal pocket, you can’t go past 332 Darby Street. Positioned right on the Bar Beach border, with the sand, surf and The Junction practically at your doorstep, this Art Deco–era cavity brick home sits on a deep 607sqm block with serious scope for new beginnings.
The existing four-bedroom plus study, two bathroom layout offers solid bones and period character ready to be reworked, extended or completely reimagined with a contemporary edge. With around 12.1m of frontage, R3 Medium Density zoning and no heritage conservation restrictions, the site also opens the door to longer-term development options (STCA). In the meantime, it’s already earning its keep, returning $790 per week while future plans come together.
Start mornings with a swim at Bar Beach, swing past local cafés for coffee or an acai bowl, and keep daily life easy with shops, medical services and fitness options close by. When the sun drops, The Junction and Darby Street take over, offering some of Newcastle’s best dining and bars all just minutes from home. It’s a coastal neighbourhood that rewards both lifestyle buyers and those with an eye on long-term value.
