Tucked into a peaceful corner of Merewether Heights, this retreat welcomes you with a bright hallway where sleek cabinetry and soft lighting establish a serene aesthetic. Inside, unwind in the open-plan living area, where leather seating and a TV offer the perfect spot to recharge after an active day. Begin the day with barista-style coffee from the espresso machine or pour-over setup, then prepare meals in the modern kitchen with an oven, dishwasher, and stone island. Gather at the timber dining table, where soft-filtered light creates an inviting setting for shared meals. For alfresco dining, step onto the covered deck with a ceiling fan, lounge seating, and a wall-mounted TV. A high privacy screen protects the space from strong coastal breezes and afternoon sun, making it a relaxing spot year-round. Fire up the gas BBQ and take in the tranquil surrounds, or head down to the fully fenced backyard to toast marshmallows around the fire pit under the stars. As night falls, retreat to one of four carpeted bedrooms. The primary suite offers a king bed and a private ensuite with a walk-in rain shower and timber vanity. Two queen rooms feature soft textures and muted coastal tones, while the fourth bedroom includes a single bed and study desk — ideal for quiet reflection or focused work. Refresh in the elegant main bathroom, complete with a spacious walk-in rain shower, free-standing bathtub and twin stone basins. A separate powder room near the entrance adds extra convenience for groups. Maintain routines with a full laundry equipped with a washer and dryer. Enjoy ultimate comfort with central air conditioning and heating, and ceiling fans throughout. A highchair and a portacot are available on request. Off-street parking is available for two vehicles in the driveway, plus free 24/7 street parking nearby.
