Prestige Waterfront, Luxury Design & Build, Love The Flat Land From Garage To The Waters Edge, Magic Location, Magic Views & Magic Lifestyle
Welcome to the home that defines prestige on Lake Macquarie. This is a statement home, a contemporary waterfront residence in one of the most tightly held and admired streets in the region. A younger-build of pavilion-style design, it delivers soaring glass, wide terraces, and level lawns that meet the water’s edge. Opportunities like this are vanishingly rare, and the lifestyle they offer, morning paddles, evenings at Belmont 16s, weekends on the boat, is nothing short of extraordinary. To be able to find a waterfront with one level main living, completely flat (no stairs) from once you drive into your garage to walking through the house and out to the waterfront, a rarity to not have a full flight of stairs up or down to enjoy the water!
Ross Street has long been considered one of the jewels of Lake Macquarie, a location where homes are tightly held not just for their waterfront position but for the prestige they carry. Yet few along this stretch can claim the modernity, flat access, and architectural brilliance of number 72. Where many waterfronts ask for compromise, here you find a residence that has been conceived without it, a home that is both spectacular in form and effortless in function, designed to elevate every aspect of daily life.
From the moment you arrive the sense of grandeur is undeniable. The façade is a bold composition of glass, steel and timber, clean lines softened by natural materials, a contemporary presence that sits comfortably within its foreshore setting. Step through the oversized front door and the horizon reveals itself instantly, floor-to-ceiling glazing framing the water in a breathtaking welcome. The void stretches skyward, a chandelier suspended in air, a floating staircase of timber and glass suspended in space. Polished concrete floors sweep beneath you, anchoring the space in sophistication, while every line of sight is drawn towards the lake. It is an entrance designed to impress, yet it is the ease with which it connects you to the water that makes it extraordinary.
Life here moves with the rhythm of the lake. Mornings begin quietly, coffee in hand as you stand at the island bench, yachts and kayaks drifting by just beyond the terrace. Children or grandchildren wander down to the lawn, dragging paddleboards across the grass before pushing off into glassy water. By afternoon the home hums with activity, sliding doors thrown open as conversation flows from living to terrace, the barbecue lit, neighbours or friends gathered in the kind of effortless entertaining only absolute waterfront can provide. Evenings soften into gold, the sun dropping behind ridgelines, its reflection rippling across the bay, and you retreat to the master balcony, wine glass in hand, watching the lights of Belmont shimmer across the water. On weekends you stroll to Green Point Reserve, wander to the Sailing Club for a long lunch, or take the boat out for a day on the lake. In ten minutes you are on the sand at Nine Mile Beach, in twenty you are dining at Newcastle Harbour, in an hour you are sipping Shiraz in the Hunter Valley, and in ninety minutes you are back in Sydney. The world feels at once within reach and a million miles away.
This is a home that inspires you to imagine your life differently. Imagine Sunday mornings where sunlight streams through the foyer void, illuminating the glass as the house wakes slowly around you. Imagine family breakfasts gathered around the stone island, laughter filling the east wing, lake sparkling beyond. Imagine birthday parties that spill from living room to terrace to lawn, children darting between garden and foreshore, adults deep in conversation as music drifts softly across the water. Imagine retreats to the west wing lounge, a book in hand, or a quiet nightcap on a private balcony, distant stars mirrored in the lake.
Imagine the ease of living where groceries move from garage to kitchen across level access, where a ground-floor study doubles as a guest suite, where a full bathroom and large laundry make daily function seamless. Imagine the rarity of 2.5-metre side access, wide enough to create a ramp from driveway to water, giving you boating practicality rarely seen along Ross Street, with the benefit of having access from ‘The Parade’ for easy parking, waterside access and even taking the bins out. This is a home that answers not only your dreams but your daily needs, a balance of indulgence and function that makes it both prestigious and practical.
