It was Newcastle's most talked about residential property of 2019 and Merewether's "Black House" attracted plenty of attention again before it was secured by a local buyer.
Cveta Kolarovski, of Cveta Property, sold the one-of-a-kind home at 21 Flowerdale Avenue for an undisclosed sum. But the Newcastle Herald believes the unique property was bought within the marketing guide of $2.49 million to $2.7 million.
According to Australian Property Monitors data, it had sold for $2.18 million in October 2019.
Inside the Black House, a palette of precast concrete walls and polished concrete floors is offset by reclaimed oak feature walls, bespoke metal floating staircases, custom timber cabinetry and vertical green walls. There are four bedrooms, including a top-level master retreat, and three bathrooms.
Outside, it blend into its natural surrounds with rooftop gardens on every level. It has an internal lift and a gas-heated mineral pool and was created by Guy Bunder of Made Architectural Constructions.
