15 Elliott Street

Merewether NSW 2291

Cherished by only two families in the past 100 years, this is one of those rare homes that you simply never want to leave. Hitting the market for the first time since 1968, this classic three-bedroom weatherboard cottage is tucked away in the peaceful, classic enclave of Elliott Street, a place where neighbours become friends and kids still enjoy playing street games in this quiet cul-de-sac. With its solid foundation and warm character, this home is waiting to welcome new owners.

Behind its vibrant cottage garden, this home soaks up the afternoon sun, with flowers and rustic touches adding to its charm. Inside, you'll discover original features like tall 3m ceilings and a leadlight window in the sunroom that adjoins one of the bedrooms. The bathroom offers a comfortable, original clawfoot bath, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Take your pick from the front or rear sunroom, or retreat to the covered alfresco area for some quiet relaxation as you dream up renovation ideas. Out back, the deep yard offers plenty of potential, plus there's a versatile studio retreat that's currently set up as an entertaining room but could serve as an office, gym, or teen hangout. And with room to extend the home into the spacious backyard-whether it's adding extra living space, bedrooms, a deck, or even a pool (STCA)-the possibilities are endless.

Nestled within a close-knit community street, the positioning of this property perfectly blends with a laid-back way of life that will captivate many. Wake up and choose between a short walk to Merewether or Bar Beach. Stroll to The Prince or Mary Ellen for a relaxed meal or a casual drink with friends or to The Junction precinct's shopping centre, boutiques, cafes, restaurants and tavern. With nearby parks and sports fields, invigorating coastal walks, refreshing morning beach dips, and all the entertainment buzz in the CBD - everything you need is within walking distance, promising the lifestyle you want.
