• Peaceful, tree-top location with ocean glimpses
• Three-bedroom, two-bathroom home
• Extra-large wrap-around deck
With tropical palm trees in the front yard, and a leafy Australian bush backdrop just beyond the back fence, everything about this house says laidback coastal living.
One of the home's standout features is the wide, shady verandah that wraps around onto a large, covered entertaining deck. Connecting to inside via two sets of sliding doors off the dining and lounge rooms, the deck acts like an extension of the main living space and has plenty of room for comfy chairs, an outdoor dining table, the barbecue and loads of space for the whole family to gather. And because this property backs onto a Crown reserve the sounds of native birdcall are just about all you'll hear from this super peaceful, private spot.
The home's large, open-plan kitchen/living/dining room has floor-to-ceiling windows and doors allowing for plenty of natural light, sea breezes and views out onto the bushy reserve and the ocean in the distance. There's a well-appointed fresh, contemporary kitchen with dishwasher, gas cooktop, wall oven, great storage and island bench with breakfast bar. In the loungeroom is a very large wood heater which quickly and efficiently heats the entire home. The home's main bedroom has huge built-in wardrobes and a fresh, updated ensuite bathroom. There's also a modern family bathroom with separate bath and shower and a large family laundry.
The fully-fenced, level backyard has low maintenance gardens that leave lots of space for a trampoline, a future swimming pool (STCA) and room for the kids and pets to play. The rear reserve (with well-maintained fire trails) acts like an extension of the backyard and with walking access to one of the Merimbula Creek anabranches, is an idyllic natural adventure playground for big kids. The home's rustic cedar weatherboard exterior with timber windows and doors looks right at home in this leafy, bushland setting.
There's a two-car carport at the front of the house and a very convenient additional street-level covered carport perfect for parking a large boat, caravan or trailer. There's also unsealed under-house storage accessed from the backyard for a workshop bench and storing garden or sporting equipment
Although this home is tucked away in a tranquil and private bushland setting, it's ideally located just a couple of minutes' drive to the conveniences of the Merimbula CBD with its supermarkets, speciality shops, cafes and restaurants - the school bus stops at either end of the street. Set in a quiet street of mostly families and other owner-occupiers, this home ticks all the boxes for easy Merimbula living. Lovingly owned by the same family for over 25 years, 34 Garden Circle is ready for a new family to make it their own.
