Framed by well-manicured, established gardens, this conveniently located, coastal-inspired home is ready for you to move straight in. Boasting a free-flowing, open-plan layout with sun-soaked interiors courtesy of its north-facing aspect, homes of this calibre at entry-level prices rarely become available in this premier beachside suburb of Merewether. From the moment you step inside this character-filled residence, you are welcomed by wide heritage Baltic pine flooring, high ceilings, and beautifully reimagined Canadian Oregon beams that are over 100 years old, having been repurposed from the heritage-listed and iconic Silk House in Newcastle city. The open-plan living areas flow effortlessly throughout the home, making indoor entertaining a breeze. The well-appointed, generously sized kitchen sits at the heart of the home and comes equipped with stone benchtops, a gas hob, quality stainless steel appliances, and plenty of storage space. Positioned along one side of the home are two spacious bedrooms boasting an abundance of natural light, while the third bedroom at the rear overlooks the private backyard. Centrally located to service the bedrooms is the generous family bathroom, featuring a large bath, separate shower, toilet, single vanity with ample storage, and a skylight. Perfectly suited for families who love to entertain, the paved courtyard and covered pergola area are shaded by a large jacaranda tree and complemented by a generous grassed backyard-ideal for afternoon catch-ups and friendly BBQs. The pièce de résistance of this quality home is the fully insulated, self-contained office space, ideal for those working from home. It features cabled fibre internet, air conditioning, a kitchenette, and a second toilet. This versatile space could also serve as an additional living area or studio.
