From a perfectly elevated, North East facing, 684.9sqm corner block in a landmark position above Merewether Beach, you can hear the waves crashing onto the Beach and breathe in the salt air. Mere steps from the Merewether tunnel offering direct access to Merewether Beach and the Ocean Baths, Bathers Way Walk, The Surfhouse and Blue Door Kiosk, this meticulously renovated home offers the ultimate in coastal luxury. With unimpeded 270-degree views from two whole sides of the house, stretching from Merewether to Bar Beach, every sunrise and moonlit reflection over the Pacific becomes part of your everyday experience. A full-scale renovation in 2021 saw the five bedrooms, four bathrooms home reimagined with high-end finishes and thoughtful functionality. The roof was entirely replaced with La Escandella Curvado Galia Terracotta tiles and copper guttering, designed to withstand the coastal elements. A grand entryway welcomes you with a handcrafted Moroccan tile feature and a striking solid timber pivot door. Inside, the heart of the home is an entertainer's dream. A chef's kitchen boasts premium Gaggenau appliances, an oversized 2.3m island with honed River Gold granite, and a sleek bar with dual Vintec fridges and hideaway brass-mesh doors. The open-plan living space is warmed by an Escea gas fireplace set atop a micro-cemented bench, exuding modern Mediterranean charm. Luxury extends throughout with Havwoods engineered timber floors, brand new carpet in the bedrooms, along with custom-built storage and underfloor heating in the bathrooms. The home office is designed for seamless remote work, featuring multiple workstations, high-speed fibre internet, discreet security storage and offering stunning ocean views to stimulate creativity. Outdoors, newly landscaped front and backyards offer serene coastal gardens, a fire pit zone, and an outdoor shower-perfect after a morning surf. Advanced security, smart home automation, and energy-efficient features elevate the property's comfort and peace of mind. With a host of inclusions and features only a visit will uncover, this coastal sanctuary also gifts instant access to vibrant seaside bars, restaurants and cafs.
