"We've already had quite a few Newcastle buyers that have shown interest in it, and serious interest in it, as well as one from Sydney who is showing serious interest too, and I don't think it will sit around for very long," Mr Bender said.
"The house is wonderful, but to have three blocks of land that are level with that view that you're never ever going to lose, you can't replicate that anywhere else in Newcastle."
The property features an eight-bedroom, four-bathroom residence built in 1948 and overlooking a 15-metre saltwater swimming pool. It is positioned on three titles of land and has Development Application approval to remaster the residence into a luxury trophy home.
Inspections are by appointment only.
Meanwhile, Nero Group Australia will open the stunningly restored Merewether House at 285 Glebe Road on Saturday at 4pm.
