Merimbula NSW 2548

Just a hop, skip and a jump from the Merimbula CBD, the friendly, quiet cul-de-sac of Illawong Heights, is the ideal setting for this low-maintenance, single-level double-brick home.

The home's light and sunny, north-facing open plan kitchen/living/dining space welcomes you inside this comfortable home. This large space has great airflow from numerous large windows along this northern side – as well as some ocean glimpses - and its double-brick construction means it's efficiently heated by a reverse-cycle air conditioner.

The solid timber kitchen has plenty of storage and bench space, a dishwasher, and a gas cooktop and oven. Everything is functional and in good working order, however there's plenty of scope and space to easily modernise and make the most of this central living area –the internal brick walls could be painted over or covered to create a lighter, contemporary feel.

The large main bedroom has built-in wardrobes and a modern, well-appointed ensuite bathroom. Bedrooms two and three are both good-sized with built-in wardrobes in each, further adding to the excellent storage options throughout the home. The main bathroom has a separate toilet and there's covered rear access to the large, separate laundry.

The neat and tidy, low-maintenance back yard is a hidden gem with numerous standout features. There's a chook pen, fruit trees and raised veggie garden beds on the level lawned area and enormous potential here to add to the existing features to create your own ideal backyard space. The 817 m2 block backs onto a leafy bush reserve at the rear so there are no neighbours behind you. With three lock-up garages - and an additional carport - storage and off-street parking space won't be a problem. There's loads of room for a boat, caravan, trailer, fishing gear, golf clubs, kayaks, surfboards – you name it! Or an extensive workshop if you're a handyman, as well as space to tinker with a car or two.

A quick three-minute drive will have you making the most of the spectacular Sapphire Coast beaches and waterways however you choose. Or, you can leave the car at home and take the easy 10-minute stroll to Merimbula's bustling CBD with its supermarkets, services, cafes and restaurants.

Whether you're looking to downsize to something close to town and easier to manage - but that still has plenty of space for all your interests - or you're a first home buyer looking for a property you can move into straight away without the need to address any building issues, join the friendly community at Illawong Heights.
