Last Listing description (March 2024)

Nestled in beachside Merewether, this treasured family home, held with love since the 1960s, is now ready for a new chapter. Built in the 1940s on what was once the stables for the property next door, this charming residence exudes character and nostalgia. Ornate ceilings and a classic brick fireplace pay homage to its origins, while the two-bedroom layout has been extended over the years.

A full renovation promises to breathe new life into this gem. Imagine replacing the floorcoverings and peeling away the layers of wallpaper to reveal the potential hidden within. Modernising the kitchen and bathroom will not only add immediate value but also transform this home into a contemporary haven. Situated on a north-facing 315sqm block, a clean slate awaits those who dream of a fresh start - think a contemporary double-storey rebuild (STCA) that suits your lifestyle and preferences.

This Merewether pocket is just five minutes from the beach and offers the epitome of family living. Need to run errands? The Junction precinct and Westfield Kotara are just minutes away. The refurbished Mary Ellen or Prince Hotel are both close by, providing the perfect spots for casual meals or drinks with friends.

Embrace the potential, relish the memories, and embark on a journey to make this cherished family home your own.
