Last Listing description (September 2022)

Positioned in one of Merewether's premier streets, this treasured home of almost 60 years is set on a 562.8sqm northeast to rear allotment with arguably the best city and coastal views in town.

Painting a picture of prominence and prestige, this long-admired address sits high above the shoreline with front row viewing pleasures of long stretches of golden sand, city lights that sparkle by night, endless ocean panoramas, and vistas that stretch as far as Broken Back Range in the Hunter Valley to the tip of Port Stephens.

Feel inspired to purchase the perfect seaside dream and experience all the aquatic action, from ships sailing into port and whales on their annual migration, to dramatic offshore storms and magnificent daily sunrises. The views here are world-class.

Use this four-bedroom home's great bones and generous room sizes to go down the richly rewarding renovation path. Alternatively, maximise the block's show-stopping front and rear views to design the coastal home you've always dreamed of.

In blue-ribbon Hickson Street discover a whole other world where you can stroll to the end of the road and down the staircase to the ocean baths, seaside bars and eateries, and coastal walks to Nobbys and beyond. Or you could pack your towel and swimmers, cross the road and wander down the beach track to Burwood in just a few minutes.

There's no through traffic or fast cars in this quiet cul-de-sac, just views to die for and the chance to create the coastal dream.
