While modern homes have become a familiar sight along Frederick Street, this gorgeous five-bedroom residence takes a more timeless approach, with its weatherboard façade, traditional verandahs, decorative fretwork and graceful coastal character. Behind its picture-perfect exterior, an extensive renovation and extension have created a superb family home where classic charm meets contemporary luxury, with generous spaces for everyone to spread out, beautiful finishes throughout and a fabulous outdoor entertaining area overlooking the pool. A brand-new driveway with a handy vehicle turntable and a beautiful sandstone front fence add to the home's street appeal, with fresh landscaping for both the front garden and poolside. Just 500m from Merewether Beach, it's a home that captures everything there is to love about coastal family living.
The spacious entry sets the tone for what's to come. A separate lounge provides a comfortable spot to unwind, while a versatile fifth bedroom doubles beautifully as a home office. Further inside, the home opens into an expansive kitchen, dining and family zone designed for everyday connection and effortless entertaining. The gorgeous island kitchen is a standout, with stone benchtops, classic shaker-style cabinetry, quality appliances and a large butler's pantry providing plenty of room for the keenest home cook. And for those who appreciate a good drop, the temperature-controlled 160-bottle wine room is a fabulous finishing touch.
The real showstopper is the connection between inside and out. A servery window and French doors open from the kitchen to the magnificent covered entertaining deck, where a built-in barbecue and a gas fireplace make this somewhere you'll want to spend time all year round. Beyond the deck, a freshly turfed backyard and sparkling swimming pool provide the ultimate finishing touches, with plenty of space for kids to play and everyone to enjoy the sunshine.
Upstairs, four bedrooms offer welcome separation from the busy living areas below. The main bedroom is a lovely retreat, complete with a walk-in robe and private ensuite, while a second bedroom enjoys its own adjoining sunroom, ideal as a teenager's hangout or quiet study space. A beautifully appointed family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate shower complete the upper level.
With Merewether Beach just 500m away, you can start the day with a surf, a swim in the ocean baths or a coffee by the water, all without getting in the car. Sunset drinks at the Surfhouse or the Beach Hotel, and lazy afternoons stretched out on the sand are all part of the appeal. The Junction precinct's cafés, restaurants, boutiques and everyday shopping are close by, along with excellent schools and sporting facilities, while Newcastle's CBD and Honeysuckle are just 3km away.
