From the moment you arrive, 28 Merinda Drive captures your heart. Framed by lush tropical gardens and immaculate landscaping, this stunning residence radiates privacy, serenity and that unmistakable Shelly Beach charm.
Behind the beautiful white rendered facade, a garden pathway draws you in through flourishing greenery and river rock, illuminated beautifully at night. The gentle steps to the front porch set the tone for what is to come, a peaceful leafy space for your morning coffee surrounded by swaying palms.
A long concrete driveway leads up the side of the home to the double remote garage and gated carport, offering abundant space for cars, trailers, the caravan or weekend toys. Every detail has been considered, right down to a hidden storage or bin area seamlessly integrated behind matching fencing.
Inside, you are instantly met with a sense of warmth and relaxed, coastal appeal. Timber look vinyl flooring flows through the entry and into the living areas, complemented by soft neutral tones and an abundance of natural light. To one side of the entryway, a tranquil sitting room invites you to unwind as large glass doors open to the front porch, capturing the ocean air and garden outlook. On the other side, the main living area opens up beautifully, bathed in natural light from generous windows overlooking the lush surrounds.
The open plan living, dining and kitchen area forms the true heart of the home. With split system air conditioning, VJ panel detailing and a light filled design, this is a space that feels instantly welcoming. The kitchen is a showstopper with a large, waterfall edge stone benchtop, Bosch dishwasher, electric cooking and a walk-in pantry expertly concealed for a seamless look. A skylight floods the space with light whilst the wide, bifold servery window opens to the outdoor entertaining area, creating a perfect indoor and outdoor connection for family gatherings or lazy weekends.
The bedroom wing is equally impressive. The master suite is a peaceful haven with plush carpet, ceiling fan, huge window, walk-in-robe and a stunning ensuite featuring crisp white tones, floor to ceiling tiles, VJ ceiling panels and rainfall shower head. The remaining bedrooms are all spacious, with soft neutral finishes, ceiling fans and built-in-robes, whilst the main bathroom delivers luxury with a large bathtub, frameless walk-in shower, heated towel rail and contemporary design.
Outdoors is where the magic truly unfolds. From the dining area, step out to the deck that wraps around the home, a sun-soaked space with a shade sail, perfect for afternoon drinks or morning yoga. The covered entertaining zone is next level, complete with VJ ceilings, outdoor heaters, ceiling fan, built-in BBQ kitchen with polished concrete benches, four burner gas cooktop and servery bar. Relax with friends, watch the kids play on the perfectly level 'bowling pitch' lawn, or gather around the firepit on cool evenings under the stars.
Lovingly maintained and beautifully modernised by the same family for 33 years, this home embodies heart, care and timeless coastal style, ready for its next chapter.
