Last Listing description (May 2026)

Resting on a north-to-rear-facing 647sqm parcel of prime Merewether terra firma, this original brick home is being offered for sale for the first time since 1983. Set back from the street, this blank-canvas opportunity provides endless value-adding potential at an entry-level price point. It ticks all the boxes for anyone seeking a renovator's delight, a knockdown and rebuild, a townhouse/duplex/dual-occupancy site, or the option to add a granny flat at the rear to create a second income stream (subject to council approval).

Providing a well-balanced and uncomplicated floorplan, the home features four generously sized bedrooms, two living areas, and light-filled interiors courtesy of the north-to-rear-facing aspect. The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the home and overlooks the private backyard, offering plenty of space to extend. There's room for the kids to play, as well as ample space for green thumbs to cultivate gardens. There is also abundant off-street parking for cars, a boat, caravan, or other toys, and if desired, room for a pool.

Conveniently located just 500m from The Mary Ellen Hotel, 600m from The Prince of Wales, 700m from the Llewellyn Street shops and IGA, and 900m from both the shopping precinct and Merewether's world-class coastline and pristine beaches. It is rare to find homes offering so much value at an entry-level price in a blue-ribbon coastal suburb like Merewether-but when they do appear, you need to act quickly!
