Newcastle MP Craig Anderson has placed his Merewether home on the market, with an asking price between $2 million and $2.2 million. The property, located in the sought-after coastal suburb, is expected to attract significant interest from buyers.
Property Details
The four-bedroom home features modern renovations, including a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, and offers panoramic ocean views. It sits on a 607-square-metre block with a landscaped garden and a double garage.
Agent Comments
Selling agent Mark Kentwell of Kentwell Real Estate said the property had already generated strong inquiry. "It's a fantastic family home in a prime location, and we anticipate strong interest from both local and interstate buyers," he said.
Expressions of interest close on March 28, with the home being marketed as a "rare opportunity" in the Newcastle market.
Political Context
Mr Anderson, who has served as the Member for Newcastle since 2022, said the decision to sell was a personal one. "My family and I have loved living here, but it's time for a new chapter," he said. The sale has sparked speculation about his political future, though Mr Anderson has stated he intends to remain in parliament.
The property market in Merewether has remained strong, with median house prices exceeding $1.5 million. This listing is expected to be one of the higher-profile sales in the area this year.
