COULD this house in Cooks Hill be home to Newcastle's longest residential pool?
Salt Property's Lyndall Allan, who is listing the four-bedroom, two-bathroom residence at 71 Parkway Avenue, thinks there is a good chance.
"It's 23 metres in length," she said.
"I would think that certainly in my 23 years of selling real estate I have never seen a residential pool of that size.
"I would be surprised if there was a longer one."
The solar-heated lap pool runs almost the entire length of one side of the double-storey home which was constructed by the owners two decades ago and offers oversized living throughout, from the bedrooms and living spaces to the three-car garage.
The architecturally-designed property is listed for sale with a guide of $3.75 million to $4 million.
"Every part of the home is oversized. Every room," the agent said.
"There are multiple living rooms including a billiards room with a bar, a formal lounge room, a formal dining room and another large lounge room.
"Even the master bedroom has its own wing with his and her walk-in wardrobes, a huge ensuite and a private balcony.
"The pure size and the quality of the home is a standout. The quality that went into the home when it was built was the best of the best."
Positioned on Cooks Hill's sought-after Parkway Avenue on 576 square metres, the home is also a 500 metre walk to Bar Beach and close to The Junction's shops, restaurants and cafes.
The median house value in Cooks Hill is $1.51 million, according to CoreLogic.

It's not the only home with a spectacular pool area.
