Property Watch: Apartment in old Adamstown Infants School building listed for sale

The two-bedroom, two-storey offering at 2/63 Narara Road is being marketed by Phil Swan, of Robert Crawford Real Estate, with a guide of $595,000 to $635,000.

There are only nine in the complex, which was converted to residential in 2009.

An original classroom building was opened in 1922 and the school operated until the earthquake in 1989. The school was then shifted to the Adamstown primary site on Bryant Street.

Mr Swan said the "New York-style warehouse" apartment was character-filled with high ceilings and original timber flooring.

"It has big double-hung windows and the apartment gets great light," Mr Swan said. "There's not a lot of this kind of apartment style in Newcastle. These ones have got some character and they're not your standard apartment."

It has a study nook, courtyard and single lock-up garage and is open for inspection for the first time on Saturday at 11am.

Coincidentally, the old Newcastle East Public School building at 58 Bolton Street is also on the market through Street Property.
