Mr Robinson, of Robinson Property, has listed the large three-bedroom, three-bathroom apartment which takes up the entire top floor of boutique complex 1 Scott Street and said early interest had included overseas enquiry.
"It's pretty special," he said. "It's 497 square metres and as big as a block of land. It's right out on that peninsula, above the Newcastle Ocean Baths, the furthest east you're ever going to get a building. It's the entire eighth floor and it faces north.
"There are only 29 apartments in the building and it won't be done again in terms of its location and its size. It is the apartment to be in."
The property at 801/1 Scott Street has a large wraparound balcony and 360-degree views. There is garaging for four cars and the complex has a lap pool, gym, sauna and spa. Inspections are by appointment.
The record apartment sale for Newcastle is $6 million, set in 2017 with the off-the-plan purchase of the entire top floor of Washington House in Iris Capital's East End development in the Hunter Street Mall.
