Beautifully inviting in its current form, this classic Merewether residence brings together period character, generous family proportions and a leafy 686sqm setting, with five bedrooms, multiple living spaces and a detached studio creating exceptional flexibility for the years ahead.
Elevated and set back from the street behind a stately porch and stairs, the home retains much of its original character through polished timber floors, ornate ceilings, decorative plasterwork and leadlight detailing. Inside, the plan unfolds across two levels, with a series of living spaces that allow family life to gather or separate as needed, while maintaining an easy connection between the kitchen, family room and garden beyond.
To the rear, French doors open to a covered patio and substantial backyard framed by mature greenery. The generous parcel leaves room to enjoy the landscape as it stands or gradually introduce a pool (STCA), further landscaping or additional outdoor living over time. A detached studio adds another layer of flexibility, well suited to creative work, a home office, retreat or additional recreation space.
A residence that balances historic craftsmanship with the rhythms of contemporary family life and its coastal surrounds. Elegant in its heritage bones yet inherently adaptable, it is shaped around the cadence of real life, morning coffee in the kitchen, long afternoons in the garden, strolls to Merewether Beach and creative hours in the studio.
Merewether Beach, the Ocean Baths and coastal walk are all close by, together with local cafés, shops and schools, while The Junction and Newcastle CBD remain within easy reach. It is a home with genuine presence and history, but equally, one that leaves room for what comes next.
