From the street, this gorgeous Merewether cottage gives little away about just how much it has to offer. Behind its picture-perfect weatherboard façade and white picket fence lies a surprisingly spacious three-bedroom home, where beautiful original character, thoughtful modern updates and a clever two-storey layout come together to create something rather special. With a private parents' retreat upstairs, an oversized garage, and covered outdoor entertaining, there's far more here than first impressions suggest.
Inside, the cottage's charm is on full display. VJ-panelled walls and ceilings, timber floors and a decorative dining room fireplace bring warmth and personality to the interiors, with the lounge room's magnificent plaster ceiling a particular highlight. The stunning kitchen, renovated just 12 months ago, features abundant storage, Fisher & Paykel appliances and bi-fold windows that open to the alfresco. A sliding barn door conceals a generous walk-in pantry that cleverly doubles as a home office, keeping everyday clutter out of sight. French doors open to a covered alfresco area, giving you a private spot for entertaining, all without a demanding garden to maintain. Two bedrooms and the beautifully renovated main bathroom with Euro laundry sit together on the ground floor, while upstairs the master retreat captures city views and features a walk-in robe, extensive built-in storage and a twin-shower ensuite. The oversized 4.5m x 6.5m garage easily accommodates a large 4WD, with driveway parking for a second, smaller car.
This popular Merewether pocket puts family life, beach days and Newcastle's best dining spots within easy reach. Merewether Beach, the ocean baths and seaside bars and restaurants are just five minutes away, while The Junction and Westfield Kotara take care of shopping and everyday essentials. The Mary Ellen, Prince Hotel and soon-to-reopen Burwood Inn are close by for a bistro meal or drinks with friends. Beautifully presented, full of character and wonderfully practical, this is a home that delivers the complete Merewether lifestyle package.
